“…Different studies have revealed that sleep is affected by the nutritional status of the body. A lack of carotene, selenium, dodecanoic acid, calcium and hexadecanoic acid was associated with difficulty in falling asleep [200]. Diets rich in tryptophan, melatonin, cherries and zinc supplements may play a beneficial role in improving sleep quality [201].…”

Sleep disorders are becoming increasingly common, and their distinct effects on physical and mental health require elaborate investigation. Gut dysbiosis (GD) has been reported in sleep‐related disorders, but sleep apnoea is of particular significance because of its higher prevalence and chronicity. Cumulative evidence has suggested a link between sleep apnoea and GD. This Review highlights the gut–brain communication axis that is mediated via commensal microbes and various microbiota‐derived metabolites [such as short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and trimethyl amine N‐oxide (TMAO)], neurotransmitters (such as γ‐aminobutyric acid, serotonin, glutamate, and dopamine), immune cells and inflammatory mediators, as well as the vagus nerve and hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis. This Review also discusses the pathological role underpinning GD and altered gut bacterial populations in sleep apnoea and its related comorbid conditions, particularly cognitive dysfunction. The Review also examines the preclinical and clinical evidence, which suggests that prebiotics and probiotics may potentially be beneficial in sleep apnoea and its comorbidities through restoration of eubiosis or gut microbial homeostasis that regulates neural, metabolic, and immune responses, as well as physiological barrier integrity via the gut–brain axis.

“…Sleep is important because it has a determining role in mental and physical health, along with quality of life [6,7]. Sleep, a complex phenomenon, is not merely the result of physical fatigue or decrease in activity; instead it is a complicated behavioural state requiring the integration of several neuronal processes [8]. REMS is characterized by muscle atonia, activation of several brain areas, including the cortex and physically occurring eye movements, muscle twitches and changes in pulse rate, blood pressure and respiration.…”

Sleep is for Life: an Essential Part of Everyday Life

Sleep is essential for basic survival as well as for optimal physical and cognitive performance in both human beings and animals. Sleep is a normal human function that is detrimental to sustaining life yet; individuals are affected differently by their sleep schedule. However, the community at large often underestimates sleep and its importance, therefore leading people to not be as concerned with a proper night's sleep, thereby preventing them from performing at peak efficiency. Sleep plays a vital role in learning and when a person fails to obtain enough sleep the night prior, neurons in the brain might not fire properly, the body becomes out of synch, and it can even lead to accidental physical injuries. As many studies have been conducted, the majority have seemed to come to similar conclusions: a lack of sleep can have detrimental side effects on the human mind and body and by regularly obtaining enough sleep each night; a person can function more efficiently.

Sleep quality and its effects have become a public concern over the last few years. While the prevalence of sleep disorders was increasing, several studies have linked diet and physical activity as a cause of it. Indeed, many people complain about their sleeping problems without considering their lifestyle as a cause. This leads the efforts to focus on these principal factors and find their specific effect. The study aims to map out the research on the effect of nutrition and physical activity on sleep quality. The literature search was conducted in electronic libraries and databases related to nutrition and medical literature – Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect– using relevant selected keywords. Article inclusion and selection were made by excluding duplicates, analyzing titles and abstracts, and reviewing the articles’ full text. This review included 61 articles. This literature study reinforces the importance of researching sleep and the lifestyle contributors to poor sleep, such as physical activity and nutrition.
