Gut bacteria products may influence sleep by affecting brain-gut communication

The study explores connections between gut microbiota metabolites and sleep disorders.

• Gut microbiota metabolites may play a significant role in communication between the gut and the brain.
• Tryptophan and dietary fiber metabolism are highlighted as key sources of these metabolites.
• Potential pathways suggest interactions between sleep and gut microbiota metabolites.
• The feasibility of using gut microbiota interventions to address sleep disorders is evaluated.
