MELATONIN HORMONE SLEEP TESTS
Melatonin Hormone Sleep Tests may help you determine why you are not getting a good night's sleep. A good night's sleep helps keep your body in rhythm, allowing you to feel your best. Without it, your body doesn't function as well as effectively. A Melatonin Hormone Sleep Test may help you get that good night's sleep that you need.
Ever have times when you're not sleeping well? Maybe it's caused by stress, shift work, a general lack of time. All you know is that you are not sleeping very well and in turn, you're not thinking as clearly and sharply as you did before. Physically, you're drained, unmotivated to do anything other than getting through the day.
A hormone called melatonin may affect your sleep. Since the rise and fall of melatonin regulates your sleep patterns, having proper melatonin levels supports the body's natural ability to induce an sustain a healthy sleep cycle.
The BodyBalance Melatonin Hormone Sleep Test enables you to measure your melatonin levels. Comparing your melatonin levels to the general population will help you and your healthcare provider to develop an appropriate program to maintain and promote your well being.
BodyBalance Melatonin Hormone Sleep Test
Although melatonin plays a role in many other areas of your body, such as cardiovascular function, female reproductive hormones, and as an antioxidant, melatonin's primary contribution is to your body's ability for quality sleep and the regulation of your circadian rhythm.
The circadian rhythm is the 24-hour cycle of sleeping and waking our body experiences based on the patterns of light and dark. Normal melatonin levels are highest during the night, when you're sleeping, because there is less light. Exposure to light decreases melatonin secretion, explaining why you are not as sleepy during the day as you are at night. Without proper melatonin secretion, your circadian rhythm is off-balance, affecting your night's sleep.
The BodyBalance Melatonin Hormone Sleep Test is a safe, easy-to-use, and reliable test that uses a small saliva sample to measure your melatonin levels. This test provides the accuracy of a laboratory analysis without you having to leave the comfort of your own home.
When you order your BodyBalance Melatonin Hormone Sleep Test, we'll send a complete kit to you. You collect the required saliva sample and send it back to BodyBalance in the prepaid return mailer provided. Within 7-10 working days of receiving your sample, BodyBalance will send your results to you.
Comparing your melatonin levels to the general population will help to establish a benchmark for comparison. With this information, you can work with your family physician to develop an appropriate program to maintain and promote your good health.
