Summary
This paper discusses the role of melatonin in regulating the sleep-wake cycle and adaptation to environmental changes, and compares methods and conditions of determinations carried out with the identification of factors potentially affecting the measurements obtained.
Categories
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the role of melatonin in regulating the sleep-wake cycle and how it can be measured in various ways.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper mentions that higher concentrations of melatonin correlate with a decrease in cognitive ability.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses the regulation of melatonin, a hormone, and how it can be measured in various ways.
