Healthy sleep may be linked to gut microbiome

A recent clinical study has found that the use of fecal microbiota transplantation from healthy sleepers can improve sleep quality in individuals with chronic insomnia. The results showed that this treatment, which involves taking capsules containing microbes derived from healthy donors, led to better sleep efficiency and reduced wakefulness after sleep onset, with these effects lasting between two and six months after the treatment. The therapy was well tolerated, with only a limited record of mild side effects, and it opens new possibilities for an unconventional approach that focuses on balancing gut microbes to enhance sleep health.
