Summary
Scientists are testing a radical new approach to chronic insomnia: fecal transplants. In a trial with 80 adults, half received gut microbiome capsules, while the other half got a placebo. Within a month, the transplant group slept longer and woke up less — and these benefits lasted up to six months. The breakthrough highlights the gut-brain connection, showing how gut bacteria may influence sleep by producing key chemicals like serotonin. While researchers stress this is early-stage science and more studies are needed, the findings reinforce that diet and gut health are foundational to better sleep.
