When sleep wake cycles are reversed, release of GH is also reversed. GH release is controlled by neural mechanisms related to SWS.

Siegal and Rogawski
REM allows for a break in neurotransmitter release so neurons can regain sensitivity. MAOIs increase the levels of neurotransmitters within the monoamine group - REM abolished
