Every finding comes with evidence grading, reference counts, and replication status. No hand-waving.

10 Pathways

Sleep is not one thing

From the molecular clock to the glymphatic night shift, we map your genome to the systems that actually control how you sleep.

⏰

The Molecular Clock

9 variants — Core circadian oscillator and melatonin output pathway.

πŸ”€

The Flip-Flop Switch

8 variants — Sleep-wake neurocircuitry β€” mutual inhibition between VLPO sleep neurons and arousal centers.

β˜•

Caffeine & Alertness

5 variants — How you metabolize caffeine, and your baseline dopaminergic alertness.

🎡

The Monoamine Orchestra

12 variants — Serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine β€” the neurotransmitters that sculpt sleep architecture, mood, and memory consolidation.

😀

The Stress Axis

7 variants — HPA axis dynamics, cortisol regulation, and stress resilience β€” how stress dismantles your sleep.

🧹

The Glymphatic Night Shift

11 variants — Brain waste clearance, somnogenic cytokines, and antioxidant defense β€” what your brain does while you’re unconscious.

🍽️

The Feeding Clock

10 variants — Appetite hormones, insulin signaling, and thermogenesis β€” the sleep-metabolism crosstalk that explains why bad sleep makes you hungry.

πŸ§ͺ

The Cofactor Pipeline

12 variants — B-vitamins, methylation, and BH4 β€” the upstream supply chain for synthesizing melatonin, serotonin, and dopamine.

πŸ”„

The Endocrine Tempo

6 variants — Thyroid function and sex hormones β€” the pulsatile endocrine signals that set your circadian amplitude and sleep architecture.

πŸ”§

The Nocturnal Repair Crew

10 variants — Telomere maintenance, sirtuins, and longevity pathways β€” the cellular repair program that activates while you sleep.

Metascience Layer

Built for scientists who read the methods section

Every variant shows its evidence level, reference count, and whether the finding survived replication. Because “genome-wide significant” and “blog post” are not the same thing.

Evidence grading

Established, strong, moderate, or suggestive — no false precision.

Reference counts

See how many studies support each variant. Hover for titles.

Replication status

Meta-analyses and GWAS replications flagged automatically.
