While it's known that sleep disorders are disruptive to our microbiomes, new evidence shows that having 'bad' bacteria in our gut can be bad for our sleep as well.
📣Prof Lara Dugas @climatencds.bsky.social joined CapeTalk's John Maytham to speak about new research linking gut microbes to sleep
🦠Good gut bacteria may help us sleep better (and vice versa)
🥬Getting enough fibre and prebiotics is essential!
