Oh my goodness, things don't go well for me. And I don't quite understand why. I'm eating the same things, but it's probably because of this gut dysbiosis caused by a lack of sleep.

So it's not being answered yet. I suspect that we have enough data to do the correlation study that you just described, which is, Are these two things related?

For example, if you look across a longitudinal study, and if we, I mean, we haven't been assessing the gut microbiome for probably long enough to have good longitudinal data yet in the gut microbiome, but we've got plenty of longitudinal data in sleep, meaning we've started off assessing people in their 30s or their 40s, track them over 15, 20 years,

and then asked, is the sleep that they've been having across their life predictive of their all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, cancer mortality? And we've got that data. What we now need is to look at gut health and ask, as that sleep is declining across the lifespan longitudinally, what happens to the gut?

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

No, yeah. Of a certain type to really enjoy that type of stuff. Exactly.

That's right. And to me, that's one of the exciting parts of it. Because it's treatable. Is that it's both treatable and it's a novel, you know, is it a novel sleep aid pathway? I don't know. I don't know if it's powerful enough to come close to that. It may not be.
