Sleep add-on
This add-on contains genes that have been found in studies to be related to sleep, sleep quality and various sleep disorders.
Sleep is one of the most important pillars of health and recovery, and by knowing your genetic makeup, you are better able to take care of quality sleep and thus promote overall well-being. In this test we examine genes and substances that affect sleep, as well as their connection to various sleep disorders such as insomnia and sleep apnea.
The report gives you individual information about the factors affecting the quality, duration and rhythm of sleep, and helps to understand the individual effects of different substances, such as caffeine, on sleep. Based on the results, the test gives you recommendations for nutrition, lifestyle and supplements, helping you to support the quality of your sleep and prevent possible sleep disorders.

Why choose the Sleep add-on test?
The mechanisms of sleep are still one of the biggest mysteries in science. Behavioral studies, including sleep studies, are more challenging than disease studies because behavioral phenotypes tend to be more complex and subject to the influence of many environmental factors.
However, in recent years, significant progress has been made in understanding this phenomenon. Based on research, many sleep-related characteristics have been found to be hereditary, and human genetics has had a significant impact on the progress of research. The discoveries of these genetic variants have indeed helped us to understand the mechanisms behind sleep. This add-on about sleep includes genes that affect sleep timing, sleep duration, and factors predisposing to insomnia, among other things.
