The results demonstrated that: (1) brain-heart-gut coupling exhibited significant variations across sleep stages, with an overall trend of gradual weakening as sleep deepened; (2) for HGC: the HRV-VLF exhibited lower coupling with all the BS-derived power series compared with other HRV bands, and among HRV-LF, HRV-HF and HRV-LFHF showed no significant different coupling with BS-derived power series; (3) for BHC: The EEG-beta and HRV-derived power spectrum coupling exhibited the most consistent sleep-stage-dependent modulation, while EEG-delta demonstrated stronger coupling with HRV during NREM sleep; (4) HGC was generally stronger than BGC.
