Urine tests the following day measure my sleep hormones – cortisol and melatonin – to see if they spike or dip at the wrong times. For instance, high cortisol at night, instead of in the morning, or low melatonin at night can cause insomnia and other sleep issues.I don’t have apnoea or any hormonal imbalance.
