Vibrant currently does not offer any sleep-related genetic test. According to this Parish (2013),
There is no single sleep gene. Sleep is a complex phenotype involving a recurrent behavioral state, characteristic EEG changes, timing during the 24-h clock, and responses to deprivation. As such, sleep may be controlled or influenced by many genes—many still not yet defined.
They may consider the following genetic tests Vibrant does offer that may contribute to sleep issues:
- Vibrant’s Nutrient Genetics panel is a test to measure levels of various genetic SNPs related to genes that could affect nutrient status e.g. a deficiency or excess. Evidence has emerged that suggests a link between dietary/circulating micronutrients and sleep (Ji et al., 2017, Zhao et al., 2020).
- Vibrant's Cardio Genetics is the largest collection of genetic SNPs that provides potential risks for heart, metabolic, and vascular conditions, including how your body handles stress, inflammation, and energy demands. "Insomnia is linked to high blood pressure and heart disease. Over time, poor sleep can also lead to unhealthy habits that can hurt your heart, including higher stress levels, less motivation to be physically active, and unhealthy food choices" (CDC, 2021).
- Vibrant's Methylation Genetics focuses on inherited factors that support foundational processes related to energy balance, cellular maintenance, and long-term resilience. "There is also substantial evidence linking the methylation status of circadian clock genes and sleep loss" (Gaine et al., 2018).
