Summary
This paper discusses the relationship between stress and sleep, focusing on the role of the hormone cortisol and its diurnal rhythm.
Categories
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the importance of sleep and the consequences of sleep deprivation, including its impact on cognitive function and overall health.
Alertness and performance: The paper discusses how sleep quality and cortisol levels can impact alertness and cognitive performance, including decision-making and work performance.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of sleep and cortisol in cognitive function, including the potential impact of sleep deprivation and cortisol dysregulation on cognitive performance and memory.
Depression: The paper discusses the relationship between sleep quality, cortisol levels, and depression, noting that sleep disturbances and cortisol dysregulation are common in individuals with depression.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the role of the hormone cortisol in stress response and sleep regulation, including its diurnal rhythm and the impact of cortisol dysregulation on health and well-being.
Shift work: The paper discusses the impact of shift work on sleep and cortisol regulation, noting that shift work can disrupt the body's circadian rhythms and lead to health problems.
Jet lag: The paper discusses the impact of jet lag on sleep and cortisol regulation, noting that rapid travel across multiple time zones can disrupt the body's circadian rhythms and lead to health problems.
