New Insomnia Test
Overview
The NeuroSleep Profile (#9027) measures salivary hormone and urinary neurotransmitters related to sleep. This profile is recommended for individuals experiencing difficulty falling asleep, difficulty maintaining sleep, or restless sleep.
The Role of the Nervous System in Health
The nervous system serves as the central control mechanism for nearly every bodily process. The brain maintains homeostasis within the body through the use of neurotransmitters and hormones which act as chemical messengers between its trillions of connections to itself and all other organs. Despite the critical functions it governs, the nervous system is not impervious to disruption. Stress, infections, poor diet, toxins, and genetics have a direct impact on nervous system function, and can negatively affect proper neurotransmission. Disruption of communication within the nervous system, due to deficient or excessive levels of various hormones and neurotransmitters, may lead to the manifestation of clinical complaints.
Urinary Neurotransmitters and Salivary Hormones as Clinical Biomarkers
The NeuroSleep Profile measures two key hormones and eight neurotransmitters that the literature suggests are involved in the sleep/wake cycle.

I work for http://www.icyou.com, a user-generated website that features health care videos on all topics. We have videos that speak to the issue of sleep. I've included the link here in this post.
