Abstract
Background: Sleep-wake patterns are intricately regulated by neuroendocrine mechanisms, with growth hormone (GH) playing a pivotal role in sleep architecture and reproductive health. While GH secretion is closely linked to slow-wave sleep (SWS), its therapeutic effects on sleep and reproductive parameters in healthy populations remain underexplored. This study investigates GH’s dual impact on sleep-wake patterns and reproductive health in women.
