In this 2nd part of Dr Wendy's chat around sleep, she shares on hormone regulation and more. Proper sleep is important for the regulation of our hormones and is also important in children for their growth and development.
Sleep supports the release of growth hormone, which is essential for growth in
children and adolescents and helps with muscle mass and cell repair in adults.
Sleep affects various hormones, including the stress hormone, cortisol, and
ghrelin, and leptin, which regulate our appetites. Balanced sleep helps
maintain hormonal harmony, reducing stress and maintaining a healthy
metabolism.
