Impact of Sleep and Its Disturbances on Hypothalamo-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis Activity
Open accessAbstract
The daily rhythm of cortisol secretion is relatively stable and primarily under the influence of the circadian clock. Nevertheless, several other factors affect hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity. Sleep has modest but clearly detectable modulatory effects on HPA axis activity. Sleep onset exerts an inhibitory effect on cortisol secretion while awakenings and sleep offset are accompanied by cortisol stimulation. During waking, an association between cortisol secretory bursts and indices of central arousal has also been detected. Abrupt shifts of the sleep period induce a profound disruption in the daily cortisol rhythm, while sleep deprivation and/or reduced sleep quality seem to result in a modest but functionally important activation of the axis. HPA hyperactivity is clearly associated with metabolic, cognitive and psychiatric disorders and could be involved in the well-documented associations between sleep disturbances and the risk of obesity, diabetes and cognitive dysfunction. Several clinical syndromes, such as insomnia, depression, Cushing's syndrome, sleep disordered breathing (SDB) display HPA hyperactivity, disturbed sleep, psychiatric and metabolic impairments. Further research to delineate the functional links between sleep and HPA axis activity is needed to fully understand the pathophysiology of these syndromes and to develop adequate strategies of prevention and treatment.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This review summarizes evidence that sleep has modest but detectable modulatory effects on hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity, with sleep onset inhibiting cortisol and awakenings stimulating it. It argues that sleep loss, shifted sleep, and sleep disruption can activate the HPA axis and that HPA hyperactivity is linked with insomnia, depression, Cushing's syndrome, and sleep disordered breathing.
Key findings
- Sleep onset exerts a modest inhibitory effect on cortisol lasting 1–2 hours, while nocturnal awakenings transiently elevate cortisol and final morning awakening produces a rapid rise persisting about one hour.
- Abrupt 8-hour sleep-wake delays profoundly disrupt the 24-hour cortisol rhythm: on the first shifted day, the quiescent period was reduced by more than 3 hours, relative amplitude fell by approximately 40%, and the acrophase was delayed by about 3 hours 30 minutes; by day 5 the profile had essentially adapted.
- An 8-hour advance shifted the nadir by about 3 hours 20 minutes and reduced the quiescent period mainly via an advance of its offset by more than 3 hours, with the rising phase lengthened by nearly 3 hours and no shift in acrophase.
- Partial sleep restriction elevated evening cortisol: after 6 nights of 4 hours in bed in 11 young men, the quiescent period onset was delayed by nearly 1.5 hours and salivary free cortisol decline from 16:00 to 21:00 was about six times slower than when fully rested; after only 1 night of 4 hours in bed, plasma cortisol over 18:00–23:00 was 37% higher and quiescent onset occurred 1 hour later.
Methods
- Narrative review of human and animal studies on sleep, sleep disturbances, and HPA axis activity, including experimental protocols such as constant routine, shifted sleep, ultradian schedules, total sleep deprivation, partial sleep restriction, sleep-stage suppression, and sleep fragmentation.
- Synthesizes findings from clinical syndromes including insomnia, major depression, Cushing's syndrome, and sleep disordered breathing/obstructive sleep apnea, with cited sample sizes and outcomes where reported.
- No primary data collection or new statistical analysis is reported; the paper is a qualitative synthesis of the literature.
Limitations
- The paper states that further research is needed to delineate functional links between sleep and HPA axis activity and to understand the pathophysiology of associated syndromes.
- It explicitly notes contradictory findings and methodological limitations in sleep-deprivation and SDB studies, including small sample sizes, variable sleep-recording hours, variable SDB severity, single-time-point cortisol measures, and variable CPAP compliance.
- Evident from the text: as a narrative review, it does not describe a systematic search strategy, formal quality assessment, or quantitative meta-analysis.

“Hence, a biphasic HPA response to sleep deprivation has been suggested [63] where activation of the HPA axis, as part of the stress response, may be one of the arousal mechanisms recruited early on to adapt to sleep loss; however, when wakefulness is prolonged, the increased sleep pressure may eventually cause a blunting of the HPA axis activity.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
