Sleep Better Tonight: The Surprising Link Between Your Microbiome and Rest


Unlock the surprising link between your gut microbiome and sleep. Growing science shows that the gut microbiome can influence how quickly you fall asleep, how deeply you sleep, and how refreshed you feel in the morning. By focusing on the microbiome and sleep, you can adopt practical, science-backed tips to calm your gut, reduce nighttime waking, and improve morning alertness. From circadian signals to gut-brain communications, small changes in gut health can yield meaningful gains in your nightly rest. InnerBuddies brings a powerful, white-label Gut Health Operating System that companies can use to power their gut microbiome testing products, with sleep-friendly insights baked in. The platform features a Gut Microbiome Health Index, a score from 0 to 100 that reflects overall gut health and is supported by an exclusive IP deal with EAFIT University in Colombia. You’ll also see Bacteria Abundances for a top 40 list—showing where you stand compared with a healthy cohort—and Bacteria Functions that categorize metabolic activities as positive or negative, so you know which pathways to nurture for better sleep-related outcomes. Our Target Group Analysis digs deeper into how the gut microbiome affects specific life stages or activities, from Healthy Aging to Endurance Sport and Skin & Hair Health, all in the context of the microbiome and sleep. Personalized nutrition and probiotic guidance are at the heart of turning gut health into better sleep. InnerBuddies leverages data from 3-day food diaries and stool samples to build a personalized nutrition plan that maps how individual foods influence your gut microbiome, helping you choose sleep-supporting meals and snacks. The platform also provides personalized probiotics and prebiotics recommendations—tailored to your unique gut composition and your sleep objectives—so you’re not guessing about what works. Whether you’re a consumer seeking direct insights or a business partner looking to offer white-labeled solutions, InnerBuddies helps you optimize gut health and sleep in a data-driven way. If you’re ready to start exploring the link between your gut and your rest, you can access InnerBuddies’ offerings directly or through our business programs.
