Changing your sleep schedule, even by a small amount like going to bed later on weekends, may have negative effects on gut health, according to a recent study published in The European Journal of Nutrition. The study found that irregular sleep patterns, known as social jet lag, can be linked to poor diet quality, inflammation, and an imbalance in gut bacteria. The researchers analyzed a sample of 934 participants and found that even a 90-minute difference in sleep timing was associated with differences in gut microbiome. Certain bacteria linked to obesity and cardiovascular disease were more prevalent in individuals with social jet lag. However, the study only found a correlation and could not establish causation. The researchers also noted that factors like blue light exposure and work schedules can disrupt natural sleep patterns. It is important for shift workers to be aware of the potential health impacts of social jet lag and prioritize their well-being.
