regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle, sleep
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of sleep; a readily reversible state of reduced awareness and metabolic activity that occurs periodically in many animals. [GOC:jl, ISBN:0192800981]
The circadian sleep/wake cycle, also known as the body's internal clock, is a complex biological process that regulates sleep and wakefulness over a roughly 24-hour period. This cycle is driven by an intricate interplay of internal and external factors.
**Internal Factors:**
* **The Suprachiasmatic Nucleus (SCN):** Located in the hypothalamus, the SCN is the body's primary circadian pacemaker. It receives light signals from the eyes through the optic nerve and uses this information to synchronize its own rhythm with the day-night cycle. The SCN then regulates the production of various hormones and neurotransmitters, influencing physiological processes throughout the body.
* **Hormonal Regulation:**
* **Melatonin:** This hormone, produced by the pineal gland, is secreted primarily at night and promotes sleepiness. Its production is suppressed by light and stimulated by darkness, reflecting the SCN's influence.
* **Cortisol:** This hormone, produced by the adrenal glands, peaks in the morning and promotes wakefulness. Its levels decline throughout the day, contributing to the feeling of sleepiness in the evening.
* **Molecular Mechanisms:**
* **Clock Genes:** A network of genes, known as clock genes, regulate the rhythmic expression of proteins that influence various physiological processes. These genes oscillate in a cyclical manner, driving the circadian rhythm.
**External Factors:**
* **Light:** The most powerful zeitgeber (synchronizer) for the circadian rhythm is light. Exposure to light during the day suppresses melatonin production, while darkness stimulates its release. This signal helps to synchronize the internal clock with the external environment.
* **Social Cues:** Social interactions, meal times, and work schedules can also influence the circadian rhythm.
**Regulation of Sleep:**
The circadian rhythm dictates the timing and duration of sleep. When the body's internal clock signals the onset of sleep, various physiological changes occur, including:
* **Decreased core body temperature.**
* **Reduced heart rate and blood pressure.**
* **Muscle relaxation.**
* **Increased production of sleep-promoting hormones like melatonin.**
**Disruption of the Circadian Rhythm:**
Shift work, travel across time zones (jet lag), and exposure to artificial light at night can disrupt the circadian rhythm, leading to sleep disorders, impaired cognitive function, and increased risk of chronic diseases.
**Maintaining a Healthy Circadian Rhythm:**
* **Regular Sleep Schedule:** Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends.
* **Exposure to Daylight:** Spend time outdoors during the day, especially in the morning.
* **Avoid Artificial Light at Night:** Minimize screen time before bed and keep your bedroom dark.
* **Regular Exercise:** Regular physical activity can help to regulate the circadian rhythm.
* **Healthy Diet:** A balanced diet can support healthy sleep patterns.
* **Limit Caffeine and Alcohol:** These substances can interfere with sleep.'

| harmine | harmine : A harmala alkaloid in which the harman skeleton is methoxy-substituted at C-7. Harmine: Alkaloid isolated from seeds of PEGANUM HARMALA; ZYGOPHYLLACEAE. It is identical to banisterine, or telepathine, from Banisteria caapi and is one of the active ingredients of hallucinogenic drinks made in the western Amazon region from related plants. It has no therapeutic use, but (as banisterine) was hailed as a cure for postencephalitic PARKINSON DISEASE in the 1920's. | harmala alkaloid | anti-HIV agent; EC 1.4.3.4 (monoamine oxidase) inhibitor; metabolite |
