Self-reported sleep quality is associated with gut microbiome composition in young, healthy individuals: a pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The microbiota-gut-brain axis is an intricate communication network that is emerging as a key modulator of psychological and physiological wellbeing. Recent pioneering work in the field has suggested a possible link between gut microbiome composition with sleep, an evolutionarily conserved behavior demonstrated to play a critical role in health. This study is the first to address relationships between self-reported sleep habits and gut microbiome composition in young, healthy individuals.

Methods

A total of 28 young, healthy subjects (17 males/11 females; 29.8 ± 10.4 years) that were free of metabolic or cardiovascular disease, and that did not take sleep medication or antibiotics within the past six months were included in the study. Relationships between self-re
