Alpha Dreams, Alpha-Delta Sleep and Other Microbiome Effects on Sleep

Defiant Health Radio with Dr. William Davis

Long regarded as a passive phenomenon, you have likely heard that sleep is an active process complete with various phases, roles in maintaining metabolic and mental health, but often shortchanged in modern life yielding widespread sleep deprivation. But a phenomenon not widely appreciated or explored is the role of the gastrointestinal microbiome on sleep. So, in this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, let’s get thinking about the role of the gastrointestinal microbiome on sleep quality, sleep phases, sleep duration, and content, i.e., dreams, including how you can put the microbiome to work to improve on the architecture of your sleep patterns.
