TEST DETAILS

The Sleep Balance Take Home Hormone Kit is a simple urine test requiring urine collection on test strips at 4 times throughout the day that are representative of the peaks and troughs of melatonin and cortisol production.

Urine collection upon awakening measures the nighttime melatonin level, while the second collection about 2 hours later measures cortisol awakening response. The third collection in the evening should measure melatonin and cortisol when they should both be low and the last test just before bed measures the melatonin level as its rising for sleep and the lowest point of cortisol production of the day.
