Waking tired, wired at night
Sleep problems are partly a blood question and partly not. A few measurable causes sit in a panel. Others, like sleep apnoea, need a sleep study. Knowing which is which saves time.
Book an assessmentWhat we look at
Low iron stores are linked to restless legs.
Anaemia adds to daytime tiredness.
An overactive or underactive thyroid can disturb sleep and energy.
A single morning value, read with care.
Blood sugar, which a physician reads alongside sleep.
Which tests
A physician asks about snoring, waking, restless legs, caffeine, screens and shift work before ordering anything. If your history points to sleep apnoea, you are referred for a sleep study, which we do not run in clinic.
The evidence, honestly
General education, not advice for you. What suits you depends on your results and history, and a physician decides it with you.
