Abstract in brief

  • Sleep loss reduces the activity of hormones like testosterone and prolactin in men, but the exact factors influencing this are unclear.
  • In a study with young men, sleep restriction to 4 hours did not change the daily hormone patterns compared to 8 hours of sleep, but total sleep deprivation or sleep restricted to the first half of the night significantly lowered morning testosterone and prolactin levels.
  • These findings suggest that the timing of sleep loss matters, with early morning hormone reductions more likely if sleep is cut short or disrupted during specific periods, especially the first half of the night.]
