Honors College
A known bidirectional relationship between intestinal microflora and the central nervous system, coined the gut-brain-axis, has stimulated work on the association between gut dysbiosis and inflammation, and sleep quality. Previous studies in the Hayes Lab have reported that a high fat (HF) diet was correlated with immobile phases, a marker of low motility during sleep found in some neurological disease and sleep duration[1]. Long sleep duration (>1 S.D. above norms for age) is associated with poor sleep quality or sleep fragmentation in participants who are overweight or obese according to body mass index values[2].
