The amount of hours you sleep is not as important as the quality of sleep you’re getting. Quality sleep may be hard to obtain when you’re experiencing disruptions to your circadian rhythm. Your body’s #circadianrhythm is an internal clock that tells you when to sleep and when to wake. Located in the hypothalamus, the "circadian clock" receives light signals from the eye’s retina and sends that information to various parts of the brain, including the pineal gland that releases... melatonin. These signals vary throughout the day, which is why your circadian rhythm typically coincides with the sun’s cycle. Many bodily functions operate based on your circadian clock such as sleepiness and wakefulness, hunger as well as many hormone functions. Below are just some of the hormones influenced by interactions between the effects of sleep and the intrinsic circadian system: - Growth hormone: regulates bodily fluids, muscle and bone growth - Cortisol: primary stress hormone, increases the availability of substances that repair tissues - Leptin: controls long-term energy expenditure #sleep #sleepquality #circadianrhythms
