Background
Sleep problems are important problems affecting human health, mainly manifested by difficulty in falling asleep, short sleep time, easy waking up, and early waking up. According to incomplete statistics, sleep problems affect approximately 15% of the chinese population, a proportion that is higher in the united states, exceeding 30%. The sleep deficiency can have negative influence on the work and life of people in the daytime, such as fatigue, somnolence, headache and the like, and long-term sleep problems can also cause depression, obesity, diabetes, heart diseases and other diseases, and even cause social problems such as suicide and the like. At present, the treatment of insomnia is mainly to take artificially synthesized medicaments, but the synthesized medicaments have serious adverse reactions such as medicament dependence, cognitive and motor damage, medicament withdrawal and rebound insomnia and the like. Therefore, there is a need to find a safe and effective sleep-promoting drug to break through the development bottleneck of sleep-promoting drugs and dietary supplements.
In recent years, more and more animal experiments show that the intestinal flora plays an important role in the sleep-wake mechanism, and the internal environment of the organism is stably balanced through a microbe-gut-brain axis (MGBA). Therefore, the intestinal flora is improved from the aspects of diet, probiotics and prebiotics, the sleep related gene is regulated, the symptoms of the primary insomnia patient can be improved, and the traditional Chinese medicine composition can be used for treating the sleep disorder patient.
The bifidobacteria is an important beneficial bacterium in intestinal tracts, the abundance of the bifidobacteria is influenced by factors such as age, health condition, mental stress and the like, the abundance of the bifidobacteria accounts for more than 90% of intestinal microorganisms in the intestinal tracts of healthy infants, the species and the abundance of the bifidobacteria in human bodies are gradually reduced along with the increase of the age, and the abundance of the bifidobacteria in the old people is very low. Research shows that the content of bifidobacteria in intestinal tracts of the elderly with long life at home and abroad is equivalent to that of young people, and the bifidobacteria has a potential anti-aging effect. In addition, the bifidobacterium can promote the absorption of nutrient substances such as protein, vitamin D, iron, calcium, magnesium and the like, generate a large amount of beneficial substances such as vitamin B group and the like, and prevent and treat lactose intolerance; regulating the immunity of organisms, improving the immunity of intestinal mucosa, and simultaneously preventing harmful microorganisms from infecting hosts by competitively inhibiting the harmful microorganisms. Part of the bifidobacteria also have the effects of reducing blood sugar, blood fat and cholesterol, resisting tumors and the like. However, different strains of bifidobacterium, even different strains of the same species, have slight differences in biological properties, catabolic pathways and functions, and thus it is important to screen for bifidobacterium having special excellent properties and biological functions.
Although intestinal flora can absorb and utilize nutrients ingested by the body, generate metabolic small molecules such as 5-HT and GABA, and feed back to central nervous system and biological clock genes through vagus nerve to further realize intestinal brain communication, no report related to sleep improvement of animal-derived bifidobacterium species is found so far.

Example 4 Bifidobacterium animalis subsp lactis BP026 Properties to promote sleep in mice
First, a 24h cultured bifidobacterium animalis subsp lactis BP026 was taken, centrifuged, washed 3 times with PBS, and diluted to 109CFU/mL or so;
extracting 20-24g of ICR mice according to the proportion of 1-3 multiplied by 10 per one mouse per day9Continuously intragastrically administering the amount of Bifidobacterium lactis of CFU for 14 days; placebo mice were given the same volume of PBS for 14 consecutive days; positive control mice were given the same volume of PBS for 13 consecutive days and 2.5mg/kg diazepam on the fourteenth day.
Thirdly, injecting 48mg/kg of pentobarbital sodium into the abdominal cavity, and calculating the sleep latency and the sleep duration of the mouse. The sleep latency period is the time when the mice turn over the normal reflex to disappear by injecting the sodium pentobarbital, and the sleep time is the time when the mice turn over the normal reflex to disappear to recover to sleep.
As a result, it was found that: bifidobacterium animalis subsp lactis BP026 can significantly shorten the sleep latency of mice and prolong the sleep duration of mice (fig. 1). FIG. 1 is a graph showing the effect of BP026 on sleep latency (A) and sleep duration (B) of sodium pentobarbital; 9-11 mice per group. *: p < 0.05; **: p < 0.01; ***: p < 0.001.
Example 5 sleep-promoting Properties of killed Bifidobacterium animalis subsp lactis BP026
First, a 24h cultured bifidobacterium animalis subsp lactis BP026 was taken, centrifuged, washed 3 times with PBS, and diluted to 109CFU/mL, then placing in boiling water to boil for 15 minutes;
extracting 20-24g of ICR mice according to the proportion of 1-3 multiplied by 10 per one mouse per day9Continuously intragastrically administering the amount of Bifidobacterium lactis of CFU for 14 days; placebo mice were given the same volume of PBS for 14 consecutive days; positive control mice were given the same volume of PBS for 13 consecutive days and 2.5mg/kg diazepam on the fourteenth day.
Thirdly, injecting 48mg/kg of pentobarbital sodium into the abdominal cavity, and calculating the sleep latency and the sleep duration of the mouse. The sleep latency period is the time when the mice turn over the normal reflex to disappear by injecting the sodium pentobarbital, and the sleep time is the time when the mice turn over the normal reflex to disappear to recover to sleep.
As a result, it was found that: after the bifidobacterium animalis subsp lactis BP026 is thermally extinguished, the sleep latency of a mouse can be still obviously shortened, and the sleep time of the mouse is prolonged (figure 2), wherein the influence of the BP026 on the sleep latency (A) and the sleep time (B) of the pentobarbital sodium sleep-induced mouse after thermal inactivation is realized; 9-11 mice per group. *: p < 0.05; ***: p < 0.001.
