Sleep Profile Basic: Melatonin & Cortisol Test

Sleep Profile Basic: Melatonin & Cortisol Test

Good sleep isn’t just about how many hours you get — it’s about whether your body’s internal clock is working the way it should. Melatonin and cortisol are the two key hormones that govern your sleep-wake cycle, and when they fall out of rhythm, the effects can ripple through every part of your day and night.

This simple, non-invasive saliva test measures your natural melatonin and cortisol patterns, giving you a clear, personalised picture of what’s really driving your sleep struggles — so you can stop guessing and start addressing the root cause.

Melatonin is your body’s natural sleep signal, rising in the evening to prepare you for rest. Cortisol is your alerting hormone, designed to peak in the morning and taper off as the day progresses. When these rhythms are disrupted — whether from stress, lifestyle factors, or underlying imbalances — sleep suffers in ways that are often frustratingly hard to explain.

This test is ideal if you experience:

• Difficulty falling asleep at night
• Waking during the night and struggling to settle
• Early morning waking before you feel rested
• That familiar “wired but tired” feeling — exhausted but unable to switch off
• Sleep anxiety or a racing mind at bedtime

Rather than relying on guesswork or generic sleep advice, this test gives you real data about your own hormonal rhythms — a powerful foundation for making targeted, meaningful changes to your sleep and your health.
