A Study of the Effects of Sleep on Human Microbiota and the Implications for Health and Disease

Overview

About this study

The microorganisms inhabiting the human body can be regarded as a dynamic reflector of both healthy and disease states, altering in response to changes in the environment. This may precede clinically detectable disease, and could be used to predict disease onset, monitor response to treatment and predict prognosis. The purpose of this study is to show that human microbial communities are influenced by sleep and altered in humans with abnormal sleep patterns. They may ultimately be related to disease risk.
