Brief Summary: Fecal and conjunctival samples will be collected from participants and will be stored at - 80 C until further processing On Day 1 and Day 2 all couples will participate in a gut microbiota composition study Optometry examinations will be completed for each participant Three months later gut microbiota composition will be analyzed again with the same protocol The participants will complete a validated Persian versions of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory PSQI Epworth Sleepiness Scale ESS Insomnia Severity Index ISI global sleep assessment questionnaire GSAQ and Ocular Surface Disease Index

Consecutive couples will underwent a standard ophthalmology exam and specific assessments for dry eye including non-anesthetic Schirmers test and fluorescein tear break-up time on Day 1 and Day 90

Insomnia in this study is defined as coexistence of both daytime dysfunction and difficulty resuming sleep Hypersomnia is defined by a bed-rest total sleep time 19 hour during the 32-hour recording SPSS software will be used to analyze the data
Detailed Description: The metabolic activity diversity and composition of the gut microbiota vary significantly between healthy individuals and insomniacs and also between hypersomniacs and healthy people While Clostridiales and Bacteroides are regarded to be the two most important biomarkers for differentiating between healthy people and insomniacs a recent study demonstrated that an enhanced relative abundance of five genera including Lachnospiraceae UCG010 Hungatella Collinsella Gordonibacter and Blautia may be correlated with a diminished risk of some types of hypersomnia narcolepsy type one Contrarily an enhanced relative abundance of class Betaproteobacteria genus Ruminiclostridium and genus Alloprevotella may potentially increase the risk of narcolepsy type one

Furthermore recent studies demonstrated that there were no significant differences in alpha and beta diversity between the three groups nonmyopes NM progressive myopes progressive myopes and stable myopes SM Nothwithstanding the distributions of Dorea Roseburia Faecalibacterium Coprococcus Bacteroides Bifidobacterium Megamonas and Blautia were significantly higher in the myopes SM and PM combined when compared with emmetropes The myopes showed significantly higher abundance of bacteria that are linked to the regulation of dopaminergic signalling such as Bacteroides Ruminococcus Clostridium Bifidobacterium Participants with stable myopia were found to have a significantly higher proportion of Prevotella copri than those with progressive myopia Bifidobacterium adolescentis a gamma-aminobutyric acid GABA-producing bacterium was significantly higher in all myopes than in NM and in the comparison between SM and PM it is significantly higher in SM B uniformis and B fragilis both GABA-producing Bacteroides were present in relatively high abundance in all myopes and in SM compared with PM respectively

Some researches have detected substantial bacterial strain sharing across people with distinct intra-population mother-to-infant and intra-household transmission patterns There was considerable strain sharing among cohabiting people with 32 and 12 median strain-sharing rates for the time since cohabitation and gut and oral microbiomes affected strain sharing more than genetics or age did

Based on these premises below hypotheses are proposed

Person-to-person bacterial transmission can change the sleep pattern in newly married couples through gut microbiota
Person-to-person bacterial transmission can alter vision status in newly married couples through ocular microbiota
