- Study of 1,332 U.S. adolescents found higher oral microbiome diversity in individuals with long sleep durations.
- Sleep duration was self-reported and categorized into very short, short, healthy, or long based on recommendations.
- The study highlighted the potential link between sleep health and the oral microbiome and the need for further research into the mechanisms underlying these associations.
- The human mouth is one of the most densely colonized microbial habitats in the body and a potential target for accessible intervention strategies.
