Women who are struggling to start a family may boost their chances of pregnancy by sleeping an extra hour a night, according to a new study.
Researchers at the University of Southampton compared the sleep patterns of 88 women, some with fertility problems and others without over the course of a month.
They found those with recurrent fertility problems slept on average for an hour less than their healthy fertile counterparts.
