Sleep Tracking Endocrine Function

Meaning

Sleep Tracking Endocrine Function is the clinical practice of utilizing continuous, objective data collected from wearable sleep monitoring devices to infer and evaluate the functional status of a patient’s endocrine system. This method relies on the established reciprocal relationship between sleep architecture—such as deep sleep duration and REM timing—and the pulsatile release of hormones like growth hormone, cortisol, and melatonin. Analyzing sleep data provides a non-invasive, longitudinal perspective on hormonal rhythmicity and recovery.
