Growth hormone treatment can have both positive and negative effects on sleep, depending on the context. Here are some key findings from the search results:
- In adult patients with growth hormone deficiency of pituitary origin, growth hormone replacement therapy resulted in shorter sleep period time by almost one hour, and decreased sleep efficiency compared to placebo[1].
- Some studies have shown that growth hormone therapy can improve sleep quality, while others have found that it can worsen sleep apnea. Its effects on sleep may depend on the individual and the specific condition being treated[3].
- Poor sleep, as in obstructive sleep apnea, can lower both growth hormone and testosterone levels[2].
- Getting a good night's sleep is essential to maintaining good levels of human growth hormone. A solid amount of sleep (7-9 hours) will boost the amount of human growth hormone that is released in the body. The release of human growth hormone during sleep is a critical part of the way your body is restored while you are sleeping[5].
Overall, the relationship between growth hormone treatment and sleep is complex and depends on various factors. While growth hormone therapy can improve sleep quality in some cases, it can also worsen sleep apnea and decrease sleep efficiency in others. Getting enough sleep is essential to maintaining good levels of human growth hormone, and poor sleep can lower both growth hormone and testosterone levels.
