Neurotransmitter Balance Nighttime

Meaning

Neurotransmitter Balance Nighttime is the clinical state of maintaining an optimal ratio and activity of key neurochemical messengers during the sleep period, which is essential for initiating and sustaining restorative sleep stages. This balance primarily involves the appropriate modulation of inhibitory neurotransmitters, such as GABA, and the reduction of excitatory signals, like glutamate and norepinephrine. Achieving this equilibrium is crucial for regulating the sleep-wake cycle and supporting nocturnal hormonal surges. This chemical stability is the foundation of deep sleep.
