Probiotics for Sleep

About the Study

People Science is conducting a new type of study to understand the impact of a probiotic containing Lactiplantibacillus plantarum on sleep disturbance. In this study, our goal is to collect data related to your sleep, anxiety, mood and quality of life before and after taking the probiotic. You may also be eligible to participate in an optional sub-study that involves at-home urine tests to determine neurotransmitter levels in your body. All study activities can be done from the comfort of your home. The results of this study will allow you and the researchers to understand if this new probiotic can be used to help improve sleep. 

Take a short online survey to find out whether you qualify for the study. If you qualify and consent, you will complete brief surveys about your medical and social history and current medications you take using your smartphone. The data you provide will be made anonymous, and the analyzed results will be shared with you and the research scientists.
