Sleep quality blood test

What can a blood test tell you about your sleep quality?

Understanding what's going on inside your body can give you insights into your sleep quality. For example, poor sleep is sometimes linked to a nutrient deficiency or an issue with your liver health.

Combined with GP-reviewed results and evidence-based ways to improve your sleep, take your health into your own hands with a home blood test.

What's included in this blood test?

• Vitamin D: Vitamin D supports your bone, muscle, and immune health. Low vitamin D levels are linked to worse sleep quality and a higher risk of sleep disorders, like insomnia and restless legs syndrome.
• Testosterone: Testosterone is a hormone that's essential for both women and men's health. Low testosterone levels might affect your sleep quality and sleep duration.
• Vitamin B9 (folate): Low folate levels are linked to worse sleep quality. So improving your folate levels might help you sleep better.
• Omega-3 & 6: Omega-3 fats are essential for your brain to function properly and low levels are linked to sleep problems.
• HbA1c: If you're overweight or having trouble sleeping, it can increase your risk of type 2 diabetes. An HbA1c test can help measure your risk.
