B. longum 1714 reportedly improved time to fall asleep and sleep quality during exam stress. The article treats broader longevity and age-related disease claims from sleep findings as inferential rather than directly established. Inflammatory stress may shift tryptophan away from serotonin and melatonin production toward kynurenine and quinolinic acid. Quinolinic acid is described as neurotoxic and tied to impaired sleep onset and sleep quality.
