A marker for the end of adolescence. (2004, background): “Concentration and timing of release of many hormones are age dependent [17].”
Epidemiology of the human circadian clock. (2007, background): “The structure of sleep changes along with these endocrine changes.(41,42) The sharp maximum of lateness at around the age of 20 coincides with the suggested end of adolescence which has, so far, been defined based on a mixture of several biological and socio-biological variables.”
Variation in sleep behaviour in free-living blue tits, Cyanistes caeruleus: effects of sex, age and environment (2010, background): “For example, sleep deprivation inducedDNA damage in brain and blood cells in rats, Rattus norvegicus (Andersen et al. 2009) and negatively affected vigilance, mood and motor or cognitive performance in humans (Ferrara & De Gennaro 2001; Van Dongen et al. 2003).”
Metabolic consequences of sleep and sleep loss (2008, methodology): “An analysis of data from a series of studies was undertaken to determine the chronology of age-related changes in sleep duration and sleep quality in 149 healthy men, and whether sleep changes were associated with hormonal alterations [4].”
The effects of age, sex, ethnicity, and sleep-disordered breathing on sleep architecture. (2004, background): “Age-related changes in the somatotropic axis are well described.(40,42) A recent study(40) of 149 men reported a decrease in percentage stage 3-4 from 18.”
