If you don’t sleep well, the repair of the gut lining cannot be finished during the night.</p> <h2>SOURCE:</h2> <p>The study was presented at the <span class="Hyperlink">Digestive Disease Week® (DDW), 2024</span>, annual meeting.</p> <h2>DISCLOSURES:</h2> <p>Dr. Yu had no relevant financial disclosures.<span class="end"/></p> <p> <em>A version of this article appeared on <span class="Hyperlink"><a href="https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/healthy-sleep-linked-lower-odds-digestive-diseases-2024a10009tz">Medscape.com</a></span>.</em> </p> </itemContent> </newsItem> <newsItem> <itemMeta> <itemRole>teaser</itemRole> <itemClass>text</itemClass> <title/> <deck/> </itemMeta> <itemContent> </itemContent> </newsItem> </itemSet></root>
