Genetics and Sleep?! Test Your Genetic Makeup and Learn How to Improve Your Sleep

Sleep Better with Your Genetic Blueprint: Tailored Tips from Your Genes

Knowing your genetic makeup can be a game-changer for improving sleep, especially when you uncover how specific variants influence your chronotype, circadian rhythm, and insomnia risk. With insights from genes like CLOCK, ADORA2A, COMT, BDNF, and VDR—tested through our advanced genetic analysis—you can craft a personalized sleep strategy that works with your unique biology and I’m excited to share how these genetic tidbits can guide you to better rest!

If you carry the CLOCK 3111 C allele, your night owl tendencies might disrupt your sleep-wake cycle. Counter this by sticking to a consistent bedtime, dimming lights early, and using morning sunlight or light therapy to reset your rhythm. For ADORA2A C/C variants, which make you caffeine-sensitive, skip that afternoon coffee—opt for herbal tea instead to avoid insomnia and support natural sleep pressure.

The COMT Met (A) allele can heighten stress, making evening wind-down tricky. Try a calming pre-bed routine with meditation or magnesium-rich snacks like almonds to ease into sleep. If your BDNF Met (A) variant lowers brain recovery, boost it with aerobic exercise and Omega-3s from fish or flaxseed—your sleep quality will thank you. Lastly, VDR TaqI CC variants might mean lower vitamin D, so a dose of sunlight or fortified foods can align your circadian clock and reduce insomnia risk.

These tailored tweaks, rooted in your genetic profile, can transform your sleep from restless to restorative. Discover your variants with our Nutrigenomics testing and start your journey to better rest today!
