Eine massive Untersuchung von fast 400.000 Menschen hat zum ersten Mal einen kausalen Zusammenhang zwischen Darmbakterien und Schlaflosigkeit hergestellt, was die Forschung bestätigte, die feststellten, dass einige Insekten Ihnen helfen, zu schlafen, während andere sie stören. 14 bakterielle Taxa erhöhte das Risiko für Schlaflosigkeit, während 8 schützend zu sein schien.

I’ve linked to the news release in the post above. In this comment, for those interested, here’s the link to the peer reviewed journal article:

From the linked article:
**A massive study of nearly 400,000 people has for the first time established a causal link between gut bacteria and insomnia, confirming previous observational research that found some bugs help you sleep while others disrupt it. Fourteen bacterial taxa were found to increase the risk of insomnia, while eight appeared to be protective.**
What they uncovered was a complex picture of how our gut and sleep interact. Fourteen bacterial taxa were found to increase insomnia risk, while eight looked to shield us from poor sleep. The strongest signal came from the Clostridium innocuum group, where a higher genetic predisposition to abundance was matched with a greater likelihood of suffering from insomnia. Others (from the MiBioGen cohort) that looked to be factors contributing to poor sleep included Prevotella 7, Lachnoclostridium, ParaPrevotella, Family XIII AD3011 group, Rikenellaceae RC9 gut group and Parabacteroides, class Negativicutes and order Selenomonadales.
In the Dutch cohort, „The genera Pseudoflavonifractor and Anaerotruncus, species Veillonella unclassified, Bacteroides massiliensis and B. faecis are associated with increased risks of insomnia,“ the researchers noted in their results.
Combining both genome cohorts, the researchers identified: The genera Coprococcus1 and Lactococcus, family Actinomycetaceae and order Actinomycetales, genus Odoribacter, family Clostridiaceae and species Ruminococcus torques and R. lactaris contributed to reducing insomnia risk.
Then, after adjusting for the possibility of false positives, the only statistically strong finding that remained was that having more of the Clostridium innocuum group delivered a higher risk of insomnia.
Ok so how do we use this information to help us sleep?
Yeahhh I don’t buy it. Way too many variables. Good luck having effective controls for that kinda study
Perhaps insomnia reshapes/influences the gut, making the “causal link” run the other way. In other words, sleep quality itself may be what determines the bacterial mix.
Its getting to the point where everyone should suspect any micro biome as a treasure trove of discoveries, no matter how far fetched.
Would of loved these finds years more early, but better then Nothing.
The less carbs i eat the better i sleep. That plus exercise seems to be the magic combo.
I was casually learning about the gut biome a while ago and it seems kind of crazy how much influence it has. One of the biggest take aways I remember is that you could take a sample from a skinny person, put it into the gut of a fat person, and the fat person would start losing weight without changing their diet.
It also effects depression, and resilience to illnesses. A ton of almost bizarre stuff
