TL;DR
Release of luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone during sleep in young adult men occurred in unrelated, random, arrhythmic peaks, with no consistency from night to night in the same subject.
Abstract
Release of luteinizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone during sleep in young adult men occurred in unrelated, random, arrhythmic peaks, with no consistency from night to night in the same subject. Release of luteinizing hormone was modestly but significantly larger (14 perecnt) during rapid-eye-movement sleep than it was in non-REM sleep, but release of follicle stimulating hormone was not clearly related to stages of sleep.

The electroencephalographic records from 43 subjects who slept for four consecutive nights in a laboratory environment showed that the first night of laboratory sleep contains more awake periods and less Stage I-rapid eye movement sleep.

Release of human growth hormone during sleep is significantly related to slow, synchronized stages of sleep and therefore would seem to be controlled by related neural mechanisms, but when sleep-waking cycles are reversed by 12 hours, the release of growth hormone with sleep is reversed.

365 Citations1965C. Miller Fisher
There are regularly recurring periods of sleep which are physiologically unique, showing a characteristic EEG pattern together with bursts of bilaterally synchronous, conjugate, rapid vertical and horizontal eye movements, and this physiological pattern is highly correlated with the sleeper's recall of detailed dream experiences.

Although glucose failed to induce insulin release at low Ca++ concentration, the reduced uptake of calcium found in isolated islets of Langerhans paralleled those in insulin secretion by the islets.

It is concluded that nocturnal sleep is a potent stimulator for the development of human growth hormone (HGH) and blood sugar and the secretion of plasma HGH was inhibited during paradoxical sleep.

53 Citations1971DONAL C. PARKER, LAWRENCE G. ROSSMAN
No significant difference in human growth hormone release in sleep occurred between base line and infusion nights, suggesting sleep release is not a substrate servorhythm comparable to waking HGH release and may be a primary neural rhythm perhaps facilitating protein synthesis.
MetabolismImplications of growth hormone release in sleep

It is suggested that the brain monitors the nutritional state and regulates HGH release according to need and sleep release of HGH under CNS influence is of major importance.
