[QUOTE="Henry, post: 1071311, member: 158"] I know that applying science to fantasy can be bad, but for one thing, studies have shown that human growth hormone (HGH)is released into the body only during the first few hours of your first sleep period. Human growth hormone is believed to enhance tissue growth, healing factors, and generally heal you faster than your normal levels of it during the day would allow. So, it's not that the first 16 hours are less effective than the last 8, it's that sleep offers a point of diminishing returns on the amount of healing done during a given day. Have you ever noticed that cuts that stay with you all day seem to heal slightly faster after a good nights' sleep? The theory is that PART of this is simple perception, but the other part is HGH levels increasing during your first sleep period. [/QUOTE]
