Sleep Profile
ANALYTES
Analytes are the substances measured in this test, which include:
Midnight Cortisol
Midnight Melatonin
rESULTS
sample Req.
Hormone levels are interpreted against reference ranges to determine whether concentrations fall within expected limits or demonstrate levels consistent with Circadian Disruption.
Cortisol should be at its lowest point around midnight. Cortisol > 4 nmol/L indicates loss of normal circadian suppression, commonly associated with insomnia, evening hyperarousal, and fragmented sleep.
Melatonin should be elevated at midnight. Low midnight < 10 pg/ml melatonin suggests inadequate secretion or circadian phase delay, contributing to delayed sleep onset, light sleep, and poor restoration.
Saliva
cOST
The results of your health assessment have identified specific signs and symptoms that are clinically consistent with an increased risk of
Circadian Disruption
Circadian Disruption is associated with a range of signs and symptoms, which have been clinically verified to include
Delayed sleep onset
Evening arousal
Waking unrefreshed
Light sleep / disturbed sleep
Pronounced afternoon slumps
Cognitive impairments
Mood disorders
Poor short-term memory
Easily overwhelmed / low stress tolerance
Prone to sickness
Chronic pain
Autoimmunity
Prone to migraines
This investigation is optional and may be used to verify the need for therapeutic intervention for circadian disruption.
In the absence of testing, treatment is tailored to address suspected contributors based on the presence of specific signs and symptoms and their degree of correlation with those contributors. If testing is undertaken, the assessment will be re-evaluated in accordance with the test results. You will be updated with the test results alongside any treatment revisions necessary.
A salivary collection kit will be provided for the assessment of midnight cortisol and melatonin levels. The kit includes detailed instructions outlining the required collection protocol to ensure accurate timing and sample integrity.
A pre-addressed, secure return package is included to facilitate safe transport of the specimen to the laboratory, where quantitative analysis will be performed using validated analytical techniques.
Estimated turnaround time: 5 business days
