Hi..  Insomnia from probiotics is uncommon and usually transient. More often, probiotics help regulate the gut–brain axis and improve sleep in the long run. If sleep worsens after starting one, simply switch timing or brand — or pause and reassess after a few days.

stop or switch the probiotic and observe for 3-5 days. discuss with psychiatrist and gastroenterologist.. main strict sleep hygiene and mood chart if sleep improves after discontinuation it's likely a strain related activation effect.

Hi Talk to your Psychiatrist It would be advisable to monitor your timing and dosage try taking them earlier in the day and observe if your sleep improves. If the disturbance persists, you can discuss it with your psychiatrist or physician to assess whether the specific strains or formulation are suitable for your condition, as bipolar-related sleep patterns can be sensitive to even minor physiological changes.
