Hello and thank you for your question.
Irritable bowel sydrome (IBS) is a motility disorder in the gastrointestinal system and is not related to Entamoeba hystolytica or yeast. Entamoeba hystolytica is a parasitic infection and needs to be treated with antibiotics. It can cause frequent stools and getting up to go to the bathroom early in the morning can disrupt your sleep cycle and interfere with sleep.
Yeast may be normal in the stool but if it is in excess it also can be problematic resulting in diarrhea and other symptoms.
These infections do not directly interfere with sleep but just can cause you to wake up early
I hope you get these infections treated soon
Regards
