Efforts to overcome complaints of sleep disturbances in pregnant women are usually with non-pharmacological therapy including acupressure which is a complementary therapy.

The study population of pregnant women in the third trimester at the Independent Midwife Practice Center (TPMB) in Bengkulu City, totaling 30 people, divided into two groups, namely 15 people who were given acupressure in the pregnant women's class followed by home visits and 15 pregnant women who were only given standard pregnancy care. using purposive sampling technique. Statistical tests using Chi-Square. Research results: The optimal research results are 1 person (7%) and after being given acupressure, almost all of them had optimal sleep quantity, they are 14 people (93%) from 15 pregnant women in the control group who were only given standard pregnancy care before the intervention, their sleep quantity was less than optimal, they are 5 people (33.7%) and after that, the sleep quantity mostly increased to 10 people (66.7,3%).
