MELATONIN AND SLEEP: HORMONAL REGULATION OF THE SLEEP-WAKE CYCLE AND ITS IMPORTANCE FOR HUMAN HEALTH
Annotatsiya
Melatonin is an important hormone involved in the regulation of the human sleep-wake cycle and plays a significant role in maintaining the body’s circadian rhythm. It is primarily produced by the pineal gland in response to darkness, while exposure to light suppresses its production. The daily rhythm of melatonin secretion helps the body recognize periods of day and night and contributes to the regulation of sleep onset and sleep quality. This paper examines the role of melatonin in the hormonal regulation of the sleep-wake cycle and discusses its importance for human health. The study focuses on the relationship between melatonin secretion, circadian rhythms, sleep patterns, and environmental factors such as artificial light and irregular schedules.
