A member asked:

Can insufficinet sleep cause nausea, bloating, and cramps? can it also cause more frequent bowel movements?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Lack of sleep or poor quality sleep has been linked to a number of gastrointestinal complaints, including those that you described above. There are some studies on patients with irritable bowel syndrome in particular and sleep time less than 6 hours.
