According to a study, India is the second most sleep deprived country in the world. Our sleeping patterns depend on a variety of factors. Stress, anxiety, restlessness, and also an unhealthy and poorly managed lifestyle are just a few of the well-known and apparent examples. But one of the most crucial elements that most of us are unaware of is that gut health has a strong link to and influence on sleep patterns or sleep disorders. However, it’s possible that your gut microbiota is keeping you awake if you can’t get a good night’s sleep or if you spend virtually the whole night shifting and tossing.

Connection between Gut and Sleep disorders:

According to the research, the type of bacteria in your stomach is responsible for the quality of your sleep. A healthy gut encourages a good night’s sleep. In addition, gut bacteria generate chemicals including dopamine, serotonin, melatonin, and GABA, which aid in sleep induction. These are the sleep-regulating hormones. Moreover, the gut is directly connected to the brain. As we all know, the brain is the command centre of the body. Gut bacteria have a huge impact on influencing the brain to maintain a healthy sleep cycle.

GUT and SLEEP have a strong connection. Keeping the GUT healthy can help in getting a good uninterrupted sound sleep. In addition, including foods that support gut health can help to improve the sleep cycle and help overcome sleep disorders.

(1) FRUCTO-OLIGOSACCHARIDES (FOS):

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) are an excellent source of prebiotics that promote the growth of healthy gut bacteria. Prebiotics can help with non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM), the type of sleep that is both restful and rejuvenating. Studies have also shown that those who consume prebiotics on a regular basis have a lower stress response when they are subjected to stress. As a result, the amount of time spent in rapid eye movement sleep increased (REM). This type of sleep is necessary for stress relief. Therefore, it is safe to consume daily dosages of 5-10 g of prebiotics to improve sleep pattern and have a relaxed sleep.

(2) CITRUS FRUITS:

Lemon and orange are the two best sources of citric acid or vitamin C. Hence, supplementing citrus acid in the diet can help to produce certain bioactive compounds (antioxidants) that are required to promote good sleep. Sleep disturbances are more common in people who have low vitamin C levels in their blood. It also leads to frequently waking up in the middle of the night and being unable to return to sleep.

(3) STEVIA

People who consume a high-sugar diet sleep less deeply and wake up more frequently at night. Stevia is a great sugar alternative for refined sugar and also highly beneficial for kids. It’s sweet and safe (approved by FDA) in its natural form. It has no carbohydrates, calories or any artificial ingredients and is therefore called “zero-calorie” sweetener.
