Increase HgH Levels With Enhanced Sleep
Did You Know that Your Growth Hormone ( GH )
is Produced and Secreted by Your Pituitary Gland While You Sleep?
The Circadian Rhythm - The Internal Body Time Clock
Our Human Growth Hormone ( HGH ) is produced in the Pituitary Gland. According to health research studies, it is made primarily at night, while we are sleeping. Then it is released ( secreted ), in pulses ( waves ). These pulses are based on the internal time clock in our bodies, that is called the Circadian Rhythm, which determines when various metabolic processes take place each day.
Scientific research also has learned that the largest amount of Human Growth Hormone is actually released during the second part of the night. Consequently, it is crucial for our health and well-being, that we get sufficient amount of quality sleep in order to stimulate this release of our GH.
There are Four Stages in the Sleep Cycle
There are Four ( 4 ) Stages of Sleep which we progress through each night during the Sleep Cycle. Each of these stages plays an important and necessary part in the daily process of our bodies and our brains - repairing, restoring, rejuvenating and rebuilding themselves. So as we are sleeping, we advance through each of these four stages, in cycles, each of which can last for approximately ninety ( 90 ) minutes.
The Three NO-REM Stages of Sleep ( N1 - N2 - N3 )
The first three ( 3 ) Stages of Sleep are called Stage N1, Stage N2 and Stage N3, respectively. During each of these early phases, there are NO - Rapid Eye Movements ( R E M ) taking place. Rapid Eye Movements ( R E M ) mean that the eyes are actually moving behind the eye-lids, even though the eye-lids are closed. Each of these three ( 3 ) N-REM Stages of Sleep are important for both physical and mental restoration of both our bodies and minds. As a result, if we do not get enough quality of sleep, or if we only get "Fragmented Periods of Sleep", then we can be subject to various health issues and problems. Health research studies have concluded that about 75% of the total amount of sleep that we get every night happens during these particular stages of sleep.
During these three ( 3 ) stages of sleep, various functions, activities and processes in our bodies and brains slow down. This then allows our bodies and our brains to repair and restore themselves. For example, our bodies have slower breathing rates, lower heart rates, less activities in our muscles, and fewer brain waves, during this time. Stage N1 and Stage N2 are called "Light Sleep". In contrast, Stage N3 is called "Deep Sleep". Medical professionals believe that the Deep Sleep of Stage N3 is the most crucial time that enables our bodies and our brains to repair and rebuild themselves.
Sleep Stage N3 and the Release of Growth Hormone
Why is the "Deep Sleep" of Stage N3 so critical for our physical, mental and emotional health and well-being?
The reason is that the Pituitary Gland releases our Growth Hormone during this specific time of the night when we are sleeping. And it is during this particular stage of sleep when our bodies and brains are healing and restoring themselves. Thus, there is a direct relationship between the quality of our sleep and the production and secretion ( release ) of our Growth Hormone.
Sleep Stage N3 and Slow Wave Sleep
The "Deep Sleep" of Stage N3 is also called "Slow Wave Sleep". This is because the majority of our brain wave activity during this time is of a Slow Wave Frequency. The form of the electrical impulses in our brains change, as our body relax more and more into this deep and restorative rest. There are periods of this Slow Wave Sleep, which can last from approximately twenty ( 20 ) to forty ( 40 ) minutes each.
The greatest amount of our natural Growth Hormone ( GH ) is released
within a few moments from the start of the "Deep Sleep" of Stage N3.
Growing Older and its Affect on the Deep Sleep / Slow Wave Sleep of Stage N3
How does our Age and Growing Older affect "Deep Sleep" / "Slow Wave Sleep" of Stage N3?
As we get older, the total amount of time that we spend in the "Deep Sleep" / "Slow Wave Sleep" steadily declines.
In other words, this appears to be one of the many symptoms of the Aging Process.
Therefore, by using the GHR Platinum HgH Releaser Anti-Aging product, you can help your body and brain to significantly
improve and enhance the quality of your sleep. This improved sleep will provide many health benefits to you -
physically, mentally and emotionally, to slow down, stop and even reverse, some or many, of the symptoms of aging.
Body Healing and Repair During Deep Sleep / Slow Wave Sleep Stage N3
Furthermore, health researchers believe that our bodies repair and restore various aspects of our health such as Memory and the Immune System during the "Deep Sleep" / "Slow Wave Sleep" of Stage N3. Therefore, this stage of sleep is critical for us to be able to wake up in the morning and feeling refreshed, revitalized and rejuvenated. On the other hand, people who do NOT get enough of this crucial period of "Deep Sleep" / "Slow Wave Sleep", often wake up in the morning feeling like they have not slept well, or not slept at all. Then they often feel tired and fatigued that day, often by the middle of the afternoon.
Here is an example of what takes places during this "Deep Sleep" / "Slow Wave Sleep". The heart rate and blood pressure slow down. This is necessary so that the entire cardiovascular system can be repaired and restored. Research shows that men and women who are older, and who do NOT get enough of this vital Stage N3 of Sleep, will often have a higher risk of suffering from high blood pressure and other cardio-vascular health issues, such as heart failure, or other similar serious health conditions, such as Type 2 Diabetes or Stroke.
Sleep Stage 4 and REM Sleep
The fourth and last Stage of Sleep is the phase that is connected to dreaming. This is stage of sleep is also called "REM" Sleep. During this time, our Eyes are Moving Rapidly, although our eye-lids are closed. This is why it is known as Rapid Eye Movements ( R E M ).
Health professionals and researchers believe that we need to get adequate amount of this critical "REM" Sleep as well. The reason is that it is connected to having healthy cognitive functions, such as learning and memory enhancement. It is also during this time of sleep that our brains deal with emotional processing of thoughts from the day. Thus it is extremely important for both our mental and emotional well-being as well, to get sufficient amount of this greatly-needed "REM" Sleep.
