Your Recommendations Summary
A ranked list of foods, nutrients, and lifestyle factors scored by the combined strength of your genetic signal. The place to start.
AYour Focus list. Foods, nutrients and habits to lean into, with the highest priority at the top. An Avoid list follows.
BThe number in brackets is the item's score. Scores are a priority scale. The more of your genes that point to an item, the higher it ranks. They show you where to start, not a guarantee of results.
CSupplements name the exact form, here retinyl palmitate or acetate for vitamin A, because the form affects how well your body can use it.
DFood sits in the same list. Black tea ranks alongside the supplements, so you can start with what you eat.

The genes it reads
This report analyzes 11 genes across these areas.
Your body clock and chronotype
Sleep pressure and sleep depth
Restless legs and nighttime movement
Serotonin and breathing during sleep
Sleep length, sleep quality, and energy
See every area and gene
Your body clock and chronotype. Whether you lean toward being a morning person or a night owl, and how your internal clock keeps time across the day (CLOCK, PER2, PER3, NR1D1, CSNK1D).
Sleep pressure and sleep depth. How quickly the drive to sleep builds while you are awake, and how deep your sleep is once you are out (ADA).
Restless legs and nighttime movement. The genes most closely tied to restless legs syndrome, which often shows up as trouble falling or staying asleep (MEIS1, BTBD9).
Serotonin and breathing during sleep. How serotonin signaling may shape your sleep patterns, REM sleep, and the control of your airway during the night (HTR2A).
Sleep length, sleep quality, and energy. Genes that link cell energy and brain fat metabolism to how long and how well you sleep, including one, FABP7, where the evidence is still emerging (ABCC9, FABP7, NR1D1).
Is it right for you
Who it's for, and what it doesn't do
Who it's for
This report is for anyone whose sleep does not match the effort they put into it: people who lie awake for hours, wake too early, feel unrested after a full night, or have always run on a later clock than the people around them. It is also useful for practitioners who want the genetic side of a client's sleep problem before building a plan.
Long-running sleep problems can make anxiety and low mood worse. If that sounds familiar, this report pairs well with the Anxiety and Calm Report or the Stress and Energy Report, and the same DNA file powers every Noorns report.
The science, briefly
Why the same sleep advice works for one person and not another
If you lie awake or wake up tired and have never found out why, part of the reason may be in your genes.
CLOCK and your natural bedtime
CLOCK helps run your 24-hour body clock. A common variant has been linked to a preference for later sleep and activity.
In your reportThe report starts with light exposure, screens and other everyday inputs that help keep the body clock in step.
Read the full explanation
For CLOCK, the report starts with light: daytime sunlight, fewer screens, and less blue light. CLOCK is a core gene of your 24-hour body clock, and light helps keep it in step with the day. In one study of 410 adults, carriers of a particular variant leaned toward being evening types, preferring to sleep or be active 10 to 44 minutes later than others. The report also lists Montmorency tart cherry juice and other foods and nutrients.
ABCC9 and how long you sleep
ABCC9 helps cells sense energy levels. A variant read by this report was associated with sleep duration in a study of more than 4,000 adults.
In your reportYour report shows whether you carry it and lists everyday supports, mainly exercise and less added sugar.
Read the full explanation
The report reads the ABCC9 variant linked to sleep length and tells you whether you carry the version associated with shorter sleep. ABCC9 helps cells sense their energy levels. In a genome-wide study of 4,251 adults in seven European populations, this variant was associated with sleep duration. The report's suggestions for this gene are everyday ones, mainly regular exercise and less added sugar and fructose.
MEIS1, BTBD9, and restless legs
MEIS1 and BTBD9 variants have been linked to restless legs. One BTBD9 variant was also associated with lower stored iron.
In your reportIf you have symptoms, discuss a ferritin test with your doctor. The report does not test or recommend iron.
Read the full explanation
Restless legs syndrome, an urge to move the legs that tends to strike in the evening and at night, is a major cause of broken sleep. Large genetic studies tied it to common MEIS1 and BTBD9 variants, and each copy of the BTBD9 risk variant was linked to about 13 percent lower ferritin, the blood marker of stored iron. The report notes iron deficiency is common in restless legs but does not test or recommend iron. If you carry these variants and have symptoms, ferritin is a check worth asking your doctor about. For these genes it suggests magnesium malate and glycine, to discuss with your practitioner.
Those are three of the mechanisms. The report covers 11 genes across five areas of sleep biology.
More on the science behind this report
Some people sleep a full eight hours and still wake up tired. Others lie awake until the early hours no matter how early they go to bed, or wake at dawn and cannot drift off again. From the outside these look like the same complaint, but the biology underneath them varies from person to person, and your genes are part of that biology.
Generic sleep advice treats every bad night as one problem with one fix. Your sleep depends on several separate systems: the internal clock that decides when you feel sleepy, the sleep pressure that builds the longer you are awake, and the nerve signals that can keep your legs restless at night. Each of these is shaped in part by your genes, and the report's suggestions differ for each.
This report reads 11 genes tied to how you sleep and explains the sleep disturbances they are linked to, from insomnia and late-night preference to unrefreshing and fragmented sleep. It then points you to the light, food, nutrient, and habit changes tied to your variants.

What if my file doesn't work, or a run doesn't finish?
Each purchase includes up to three report runs, for a retry, a lost PDF or an updated version. If your file can't produce a report, we'll reset your run or refund you. If something else goes wrong, email info@noorns.com and we'll do our best to make it right.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. You can get a refund within 14 days of purchase if you haven't accessed or started generating your report. If your file can't produce a report, we'll reset your run or refund you. Email info@noorns.com.
Will my report update when new research comes out?
Yes, when we update the report. Each purchase includes up to three report runs, for a retry, a lost PDF or an updated version. If we add new research while you still have a run left, run it again and you get the new version.
Do I need to be an expert to use it?
No. Most people read the Recommendations Summary, change a few things starting with food, and give it time. The gene pages and Science Deep Dive are there for when you want to go deeper, or when you are working through the results with a practitioner.
Is this useful if I have not been diagnosed with a sleep disorder?
Yes. The report looks at tendencies that shape everyday sleep, such as whether you lean toward being a night owl, how quickly sleep pressure builds, and your genetic link to restless legs. A diagnosis is not required.
Can this report tell me if I have sleep apnea?
No. It includes HTR2A, a serotonin receptor gene that research suggests may play a part in airway control during sleep, but no DNA report can diagnose sleep apnea. Pauses in breathing at night or heavy sleepiness during the day are reasons to see a doctor and ask about a sleep study.
Can I use this alongside sleep medication?
Yes, as a way to inform the conversation with your doctor. Some of the report's suggestions are supplements, and some sleep aids and supplements interact with prescription medication, including some antidepressants. Check any supplement with your doctor or pharmacist before you start it.
