Mendelian randomization (MR) is an emerging epidemiological approach that uses whole-genome sequencing data to infer causal relationships. In this study, we conducted a two-sample MR analysis to investigate the causal effects of gut microbiota on three domains of sleep traits: morning chronotype, insomnia, and sleep duration.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Single nucleotide polymorphisms strongly associated with 196 gut microbiota taxa were selected as instrumental variables. Morning chronotype, insomnia, and sleep duration were used as outcomes. MR and sensitivity analyses were performed to assess the causal relationships between gut microbiota and sleep traits.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Three taxa (\n Bifidobacteriales<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Bifidobacteriaceae<\/jats:italic>\n , and\n Bifidobacterium<\/jats:italic>\n ) were negatively associated with morning chronotype, while\n Tyzzerella 3<\/jats:italic>\n showed a positive causal effect on morning chronotype.\n Oscillibacter<\/jats:italic>\n was negatively associated with insomnia, whereas four taxa (\n Negativicutes<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Selenomonadales<\/jats:italic>\n , the\n Clostridium innocuum<\/jats:italic>\n group, and\n Lachnoclostridium<\/jats:italic>\n ) were identified as risk-increasing factors for insomnia.\n Lentisphaerae<\/jats:italic>\n and\n Victivallaceae<\/jats:italic>\n were positively associated with sleep duration.\n Actinobacteria<\/jats:italic>\n and\n Alistipes<\/jats:italic>\n had negative effects on long sleep duration, whereas\n Ruminiclostridium 6<\/jats:italic>\n was positively associated with long sleep duration. Four taxa (\n Victivallales<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Anaerofilum<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Lentisphaerae<\/jats:italic>\n , and\n Lentisphaeria<\/jats:italic>\n ) were negatively associated with short sleep duration.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Our findings suggest that specific gut microbiota taxa may be positively or negatively associated with sleep traits. These results offer new insights into the potential role of gut microbiota in sleep regulation and provide a basis for future studies aimed at understanding whether modulating microbial composition could influence sleep health.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/11795735261488260","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,11]],"date-time":"2026-09-11T16:54:35Z","timestamp":1789145675000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Causal Effects of Gut Microbiota on Morning Chronotype, Insomnia and Sleep Duration: A Two-Sample Mendelian Randomization Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Yuqin","family":"He","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Huazhong University of Science and Technology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3645-9369","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jiahuan","family":"Hao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Huazhong University of Science and Technology"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_5_2_2","first-page":"45","article-title":"The Night and Day Challenge of Sleep Disorders and Insomnia: A Narrative Review","volume":"52","author":"San LS","year":"2024","unstructured":"San LS, Arranz B.
