Growth Hormone:  The important factor for body growing


During sleep, your body releases a hormone named “ growth hormone” which is an important hormone for growth and height in children and adolescents. Generally, “ growth hormone” is released when you sleep tight, and it is mostly produced from 5 pm to 2 am. <./p>

Therefore, extreme sleeping late, especially after midnight, reduces growth hormone. Moreover, if you always stay up late in a long term, it can affect your height growth.

The best sleep habit to stimulate “ growth hormone” is going to bed before 10 pm to sleep tight during the growth hormone peak. In addition, you should sleep at least 8 hours per night. This habit is also good for adults. Although “ growth hormone” does not affect to growth, it works on anti-aging causing a younger appearance and good health.
