Abstract

Sleep is an indispensable restoration process for organic homeostasis and endocrine regulation, which consists of 2 phases: REM and NREM, the latter consists in turn of 4 stages, being in the N3 stage of non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM) where hormonal secretion takes place. Circadian rhythms are responsible for the sleep-wake and feeding-fasting cycle, as well as endocrine regulation, within the suprachiasmatic nucleus, which is usually modified by different factors, causing them to be disrupted causing changes in the same way. Although the sleep process is essential for organic homeostasis, it is currently considered a waste of time for many young adults, so it is becoming a more common problem, the emergence of sleep results in changes in hormones regulators of sleep and appetite, resulting in chronic degenerative diseases, among which is obesity, as it is well known that these diseases generate high costs in health care due to the multiple complications that they bring with increasing the morbidity and mortality rate, for which it is essential to create health strategies. The objective of this study was to collect the most relevant data that allow us to demonstrate the relationship between sleep and hormones involved in its regulation; as well as its relationship with food intake.
