Journal ArticleDOI
Twenty-four Hour Pattern of the Episodic Secretion of Cortisol in Normal Subjects
Elliot D. Weitzman,David K. Fukushima,Christopher Nogeire,Howard P. Roffwarg,T. F. Gallagher,Leon Hellman +5 more
TL;DR: Although great variability was found in both the amount of cortisol secreted and the time spent in secretory activity/hr, the secretory rate was quite constant at approximately .05 mg/min.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human sleep: its duration and organization depend on its circadian phase
Charles A. Czeisler,Elliot D. Weitzman,Martin C. Moore-Ede,Janet C. Zimmerman,Richard S. Knauer +4 more
TL;DR: Two- to threefold variations in sleep length were observed in 12 subjects living on self-selected schedules in an environment free of time cues and the duration of polygraphically recorded sleep episodes was highly correlated with the circadian phase of the body temperature rhythm at bedtime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome: A Chronobiological Disorder With Sleep-Onset Insomnia
Elliot D. Weitzman,Charles A. Czeisler,Richard M. Coleman,Arthur J. Spielman,Janet C. Zimmerman,William C. Dement,Gary S. Richardson,Charles P. Pollak +7 more
TL;DR: A new syndrome called "delayed sleep phase insomnia" is described, which is proposed to be a disorder of the circadian sleep-wake rhythm in which the "advance" portion of the phase response curve is small.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synchronization of Augmented Luteinizing Hormone Secretion with Sleep during Puberty
Robert M. Boyar,Jordan W. Finkelstein,Howard P. Roffwarg,Sheldon Kapen,Elliot D. Weitzman,Leon Hellman +5 more
TL;DR: In all pubertal subjects, an increase in LH secretion was associated with sleep that resulted in significantly higher mean LH concentrations than with the subject awake, providing a biologic index for the identification of sexual maturation stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human prolactin - 24-hour pattern with increased release during sleep.
TL;DR: A marked diurnal variation in plasma concentrations was demonstrated, with highest values during sleep; periods of episodic release occurred throughout the 24 hours.
