Guest guest Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hi, folks. Recently I have the same " symptom " every day. I always wake up at around 5AM early in the morning, and after a while, I either get up to do things, or go for sleep again. I am confused about the reasons for it. I read an article about TSH secretion, it said that " a nocturnal surge beginning after 1900h, and higher concentrations between 2200 and 0400h. Peak TSH levels between 2200 and 0400 h are followed by a gradual decline between 0400 and 1000 h to nadir TSH levels. Small frequent pulses occur as an overlay on this overall sin wave-shape circadian pattern. Thus, at least one-third of trophic influence of TSH on the thyroid gland occurs during the hours of sleep. " Would it be caused by TSH levels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
