Understand the underlying factors that may be influencing sleep quality
The Sleep Profile is a targeted functional assessment designed to provide insight into the key biochemical and nutritional factors associated with healthy sleep, sleep quality and nighttime recovery.
Rather than focusing on stress hormones, the profile looks specifically at sleep-related hormones and signalling compounds, neurotransmitter precursors, nutritional cofactors and cellular support factors that may influence the body's ability to settle, maintain restful sleep and recover overnight.
How can this information help?
The results may help you identify areas that could be contributing to:
- Difficulty falling asleep
- Frequent or restless waking
- Poor-quality or non-restorative sleep
- Difficulty winding down at night
- Night-time restlessness
- Daytime fatigue following inadequate sleep
- Reduced overnight recovery
- Sleep changes associated with nutritional insufficiency
- Changes in sleep quality during periods of hormonal transition
The results can provide a broader picture of the nutritional and biochemical environment supporting sleep, helping you develop personalised nutritional, lifestyle and supplementation strategies.
A valuable addition to the Adrenal & Stress Profile
The Sleep Profile is designed to complement rather than duplicate the HealthSense Adrenal & Stress Profile.
While the Adrenal & Stress Profile focuses on the HPA axis, adrenal hormones, catecholamines and stress-related neurotransmitters, the Sleep Profile focuses on the specific biochemical and nutritional factors associated with sleep and overnight recovery.
This makes the two profiles particularly useful when assessing both sleep disruption and stress-related symptoms.
