 SleepCheck assesses Melatonin levels--your body's natural safeguard for healthy sleep. SleepCheck is a safe, easy-to-use, and reliable screen that uses a saliva sample to measure the level of melatonin in your body. This noninvasive and inexpensive screen provides the accuracy of a laboratory analysis without you having to leave the comfort of your own home. A good night's sleep helps keep your body in rhythm, allowing you to feel your best. Without it, your body doesn't function as well as effectively. Ever have times when you're not sleeping well? Maybe it's caused by stress, shift work, a general lack of time. All you know is that you are not sleeping very well and in turn, you're not thinking as clearly and sharply as you did before. Physically, you're drained, unmotivated to do anything other than getting through the day. A hormone called melatonin may affect your sleep. SleepCheck by BodyBalance measures the level of melatonin in your system. Although it plays a role in many other areas of your body, such as cardiovascular function, female reproductive hormones, and as an antioxidant, melatonin's primary contribution is to your body's ability for quality sleep and the regulation of your circadian rhythm. Circadian rhythm is the 24-hour cycle of sleeping and waking our body experiences based on the patterns of light and dark. Normal melatonin levels are highest during the night, when you're sleeping, because there is less light. Exposure to light decreases melatonin secretion, explaining why you are not as sleepy during the day as you are at night. Without proper melatonin secretion, your circadian rhythm is off-balance, affecting your night's sleep.
