   Prebiotics may be able to help restore your disturbed sleep cycle   
   ...   
   ...   
   Researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder discovered that   
   prebiotics, which are nutritional substances that serve as food for   
   healthy gut bacteria, could play a key role in helping us recover from   
   a disruption in our sleep cycle.   
      
   Prebiotics (which are different from probiotics) are compounds that   
   can be found in many different types of common food like oatmeal,   
   garlic, asparagus, and apples. As mentioned, they stimulate the growth   
   or activity of useful microorganisms such as fungi and bacteria.   
   Research suggests that prebiotics may have not only an effect on the   
   gut but also the brain and behavior.   
      
   Professor Monika Flesher, a senior author of the study, explained that   
   their research shows that by supporting and maintaining the beneficial   
   bacteria in the gut, as well as the metabolites they produce, we may   
   be able to strengthen our resistance against disturbances in our   
   sleep-wake cycle. The goal of the study is to find a way to mitigate   
   body clock issues for people that commonly encounter jet lags or other   
   body-clock disruptions like erratic work schedules or lack of natural   
   daytime light, something military personal like submariners may   
   encounter.
