The Short Sleep Study: A Non-interventional Study of Fecal Microbiota in Natural Short Sleepers

Natural Short Sleepers are defined as individuals who sleep fewer than 6 hours per night without any impact on health or daytime mental fatigue levels. Emerging evidence suggests that, in the general population, the gut microbiota would be negatively influenced by this sleep duration.
