Inside the report: sleep

What your DNA actually says about your sleep.

Not "you are 73% a night owl". The sleep section of your Helisoma report reads the replicated markers behind your body clock and your caffeine response, states each effect honestly, and links the study behind every card.

What this part of the report reads

These are real findings from the report, not a menu of promises. Every card shows your genotype, states the effect honestly, and links the study it comes from.

Chronotype

Morning or evening lean. Several markers shape whether your body clock runs early or late. The report shows which way yours lean and how strong that lean honestly is.

CYP1A2

Caffeine metabolism. The main liver enzyme that clears caffeine. Fast metabolizers feel coffee fade sooner; slow metabolizers carry the same cup deep into the evening.

ADORA2A

Caffeine jitteriness. The receptor caffeine blocks to keep you alert. One common variant leans toward wired-and-anxious on a dose that leaves others calm.

CYP1A2

Caffeine and lost sleep. Whether caffeine close to bedtime is more likely to cost you sleep, based on how long it stays in your system.

VEGFA

Sleep-quality tendency. A small, honestly small, lean in how restorative sleep tends to feel across people with the same habits.

How it works

STEP 01

Download your raw file

From 23andMe, AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, Genotek, or any lab that exports VCF. Our raw file guide shows where to click.

STEP 02

Your browser reads it

The file never leaves your device. Only the small set of markers the report uses is sent to build your report.

STEP 03

Read it, then talk to it

Connect the report to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Whoop Coach and ask questions in plain language.

Then you just ask

Connect the report to your AI once, and questions sound like this:

YouFrom my genetics, when should my last coffee be if I want lights out at 11?
YouAm I fighting my chronotype with a 6 a.m. alarm, or is that fine for my genes?
YouI keep waking up at 3 a.m. What in my report is worth looking at, and what is probably just stress?
YouDesign me an evening wind-down that fits my caffeine metabolism and chronotype.

The honest part

Common variants are small leans, not verdicts. Genetics is one input next to sleep, training, diet, and stress. The report states effect sizes honestly instead of dressing leans up as destiny.
Every card links its study. Nothing in the report is invented for engagement. If a finding did not replicate in population research, it is not in there.
This is education, not medicine. The report does not diagnose anything, and clinical questions belong with a doctor.
The whole method is public. Sources, how several markers on one topic get combined, ancestry limits, and what we take out on purpose are written out in Methods and limits.

Questions people ask

Can DNA tell me exactly how much sleep I need?

No, and the report will not pretend otherwise. It shows which way your body clock and caffeine response lean and how strong each lean is. Your actual sleep need still comes from how you feel and track.

What is a chronotype?

Your body clock’s natural timing: whether you drift early or late when nothing forces a schedule. It is partly genetic, and the report reads the replicated markers behind that lean.

Do I have to upload my raw DNA file?

No. Your browser reads the file on your own device and sends only the small set of markers the report uses. The raw file itself is never uploaded or stored.

How much does it cost?

The analysis is free: drop your raw DNA file on helisoma.com and see real insights with no account. The full report is a one-time $49 payment with no subscription.

Also in the report

Sleep is one section. The same report reads your nutrition markers and your training and muscle profile, plus stress, mood, and longevity markers.
