A Massey University research team needs 1000 pregnant women to take part in a sleep study.

E Moe, Mama, will track the sleep patterns of 500 Maori and 500 non-Maori and examine how patterns change during and after pregnancy.

More than 600 women have enrolled in the study so far but organisers say only 70 are Maori.
