Changes or disturbances related to sleep are prevalent in pregnant women and has been associated to the many conditions of risk during pregnancy and unwanted maternal and neonatal outcomes. The purposed of this study was to compare the sleep quality between low-risk and high-risk pregnant women. This is a comparative study with 100 low-risk pregnant women and 110 high-risk pregnants, from September to November of 2017, in a primary health care unit and a maternity of Cear�¡. It was used the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Brazilian version. Most pregnant women in both groups had an average of 25 years, 11 years of study and earned 1.5 minimum wages, living with a partner, without a paid activity and self reported brown. The mean of gestational age for the low risk was 25 weeks and in the high risk was 26 weeks, most were classified like appropriate Corporal Mass Index, did not perform physical activity and had no complaints before sleep. The usual risk pregnant women went to bed on average at 9:50 pm, took about 30 minutes to sleep and slept on average 7.5 hours per night. High-risk pregnant women went to bed on average at 9:00 pm, took about 58 minutes to sleep, and slept on average 6.3 hours per night. The mean of PSQI global score was 5.98 for the first group and 9.36 for the second group (p=0.00). We conclude that both groups have poor sleep quality, but this intensity is higher in high-risk pregnant women.
