AI simplified

Abstract

Novel gut microbiota intervention strategies may address sleep disorders.

  • Sleep disorders can stem from an imbalance in gut microbiota.
  • There is bidirectional communication between the central nervous system and gut microbes, influencing mood and behavior.
  • Changes in gut microbiota and its metabolites may impact the endocrine, nervous, and immune systems.
  • This interaction could affect neurotransmitter release and central nervous system activity, potentially leading to sleep disorders.
  • The review discusses various factors influencing sleep and examines different gut microbiota intervention strategies for improving sleep physiology.
