Despite its name, morning sickness does not only strike during the morning hours. A pregnant woman can feel the queasy, nauseous feeling of morning sickness any time of the night or day. It is different for every woman and for every pregnancy; a woman can have no morning sickness at all for one pregnancy and be sick all of the time with the next one. There are several old wives tales about how and why this occurs. One myth holds that excessive morning sickness means the baby is more active and will be bigger, while another claims the sickness means that the baby will have curly hair.

It all depends on how much sleep you need daily to wake up feeling refreshed.
