The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) regulates melatonin production associated with the
pineal gland, which is synthesized in the dark and is responsible for the circadian
rhythm of sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin is also anti-carcinogenic, antioxidant and antihypertensive,
therefore it is important to synthesize it in appropriate amounts (
;
Reiter et al., 2003
). During sleep, we relieve tiredness upon awakening, and therefore, it plays vital
role in the physical and psychological regeneration. The importance in the adequate
quantity and quality of sleep is emphasized throughout a plethora of published research.
Reduced sleep length has many health-related adverse effects including reduced concentration,
mood instability, learning disorders, increased susceptibility to addiction, and suicide
