Our internal clocks influence much more than sleep. Emerging research suggests that our gut microbes also follow daily rhythms, and their activity can shift based on when we eat, sleep, and are exposed to light. This review explores how timing may play a role in supporting metabolic function, hormone-related pathways, and immune communication through host–microbiota interactions.

When daily routines become irregular, the coordination between the body and the gut environment may shift. Researchers refer to this as “chronobiome” dynamics, and they are beginning to explore how aligning behaviors like meal timing, light exposure, and sleep patterns may support more synchronized biological rhythms.
