Sleep may be one of the most underrated health habits. Not getting enough of it can affect everything from mood and anxiety levels to immunity and heart health. But quality sleep can seem elusive for many of us. Whether you have a sleep disorder like sleep apnea or insomnia or find it difficult to unplug earlier in the evening to get enough sleep you’re not alone. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about 40% of American adults don’t get enough sleep.
Sometimes the reason for inadequate sleep can be hard to pin down. If you feel like you’re doing everything right—you have a bedtime routine that prepares your body for sleep and you sleep in the dark so your body can produce melatonin—and you’re still not sleeping well you might have a microbiome problem. A new literature review published July 13 2024 in Nutrients sheds some light on this topic. Let’s see what these researchers found when they combed through 203 studies on the sleep-gut connection.
Your gut is home to millions of different microorganisms both beneficial and potentially harmful that affect your gut and overall health. These microorganisms produce metabolites substances that are necessary for or result from chemical reactions in your cells. All of these microorganisms and their metabolites make up your microbiome which includes both disease-causing bacteria and health-promoting types of bacteria.
