Sleep measures were collected by actigraphy during each study week, and circadian measures were determined using salivary dim light melatonin onset measured at week 33 of pregnancy and week 6 postpartum. Hypomanic/manic symptoms were measured with the Highs scale. Obsessive-compulsive symptoms were measured with the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (OCI). Depressive symptoms were measured with the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D17)
