Copper overload (cortisol rhythm)
the most direct clue for a disrupted cortisol curve

I can't get up in the morning, I can't fall asleep at night
A broken daily rhythm — morning fatigue, an evening second wind, and insomnia despite physical exhaustion — usually points to a disrupted cortisol curve following prolonged stress.

If this sounds familiar, a biochemical pattern could be behind it.
- you need caffeine or sugar in the morning just to get up,
- in the evening you're physically exhausted but your mind won't switch off,
- the quality and length of your sleep fluctuates,
- it takes you days to recover after stress,
- symptoms started after a period of burnout or heavy psychological strain.
Possible biochemical causes
The same feeling can have more than one biochemical cause.
That's why we don't recommend starting with a random supplement. First narrow the problem down to the most likely area, then confirm it with a specific test.
Pyroluria
in pyroluria, the sleep rhythm tends to be disrupted secondarily

if the insomnia is also accompanied by anxiety and hyperactivity

When you don't know whether to look at pyroluria, histamine, cortisol or heavy metals, the screening helps you pick a sensible first step.
