How Microbes control your sleep

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.
