cause apparently it releases the most from around 10pm to 1 or something like that right but what about like different time zones and stuff or does it just follow your body’s internal clock and then cant that time be forced to change by messing up your sleep schedule or what

stupid 4am question from a 165cm 16 y.o male

It follows your sleep cycle, but lack of sleep doesn’t actually reduce the amount of growth hormone produced. If you don’t sleep enough, your body will just compensate by releasing some while you are awake.
if you have a normal sleep pattern (sleeping at night) Growth hormone is mostly released while you sleep.
But scientists have studied people who work night shifts, and they produce the same amount of growth hormone as anyone else, but the timing is different. They release less while they sleep, but they also produce surges of growth hormone while they are awake, so the total amount produced each day is the same.
