Detailed explanation-1: -In humans, the major daily pulse in GH release occurs early in the nocturnal sleep period, coinciding with the occurrence of Stage 3/4 NREM sleep (58). In male rats, GH release is pulsatile, with peaks in GH release occurring in 3-or 4-h intervals (59).
Detailed explanation-2: -In adults the most reproducible pulse of GH secretion occurs shortly after the onset of sleep in association with the first phase of slow-wave sleep (SWS) (stages III and IV).
Detailed explanation-3: -264 (Endocrind. Metab. 27): E594-E598, 1993.-Growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) promotes rapid-eye-movement (REM) and non-REM sleep in animals, but there is little direct evidence for a hypnogenic action of GHRH in humans.
Detailed explanation-4: -Studies have revealed that the maximum amount of HGH is released at midnight during 10-12 pm. Poor quality sleep means the amount of HGH produced in your body is low. Low HGH levels mean increased risk of diseases and a shorter lifespan.
