Microbes in the gut play a key role in regulating sleep through the gut-brain axis.
They produce neurotransmitters like serotonin and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which influence sleep cycles.
Gut bacteria also affect melatonin production, the hormone responsible for controlling the sleep-wake cycle.
Disruption of gut microbiota balance can lead to sleep disorders such as insomnia.
Studies show that a healthy and diverse microbiome is linked to better sleep quality and duration.
Diet and probiotics can help maintain gut health, supporting natural sleep patterns.
