Gut Feeling: How Your Digestion Affects Your Sleep

Gut Feeling: How Your Digestion Affects Your Sleep

By Frederique Lemoine

You’ve probably heard the phrase “go with your gut,” but what if your gut was also the key to getting a good night’s sleep?

In recent years, research has revealed a fascinating connection between our digestive health and the quality of our rest. Turns out, the gut and brain are more connected than we ever imagined—so much so that scientists now refer to the gut as the “second brain.” And when your gut is out of balance, your sleep often suffers.

The Gut-Brain Connection: A Two-Way Street

Your gut is home to trillions of microorganisms—collectively known as the gut microbiome. These microbes don’t just help you digest food; they also communicate directly with your brain through a network of nerves, hormones, and neurotransmitters.

One of the most powerful examples of this is the relationship between your gut and melatonin—the hormone responsible for regulating your sleep-wake cycle. While melatonin is often associated with the brain, a large portion of it is actually produced in the gut. In fact, studies suggest the digestive tract may produce over 400 times more melatonin than the brain.

So when your gut is thriving, your body is more likely to produce melatonin naturally and efficiently. But when it’s inflamed, overworked, or imbalanced, your sleep can become fragmented, restless, or delayed.

Why Nighttime Gut Support Matters

Most people focus on digestion during the day, but the truth is: what you consume at night can also play a major role in how your gut functions—and how well you sleep. A heavy, processed, or sugary evening snack can disrupt your gut and spike cortisol, the stress hormone, making it harder to fall asleep.

On the flip side, choosing gentle, gut-loving ingredients in the evening can help calm the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and signal to your body that it’s time to unwind.
