What Melatonin timing and sleep phase measures
This marker adds real-world context to sleep / circadian regulation and helps separate genetic tendency from current physiology.
Why this marker matters
It matters because These markers focus on timing and recovery rather than generic sleep hygiene language.
When to check it
- when sleep / circadian regulation ranks near the top of the report
- when symptoms overlap with sleep / circadian regulation follow-up
How to interpret it
- Use it alongside the other recommended markers in this pathway.
- Do not treat this as a diagnosis without clinical context.
Where it fits in DNA follow-up
Melatonin timing and sleep phase is most useful when DNA suggests sleep timing and circadian recovery may be easier to disrupt.
Example Insight
Sleep / circadian regulation looks more relevant when melatonin timing and sleep phase lines up with the gene pattern instead of contradicting it.
