What hormones are secreted when you resist sleep and stay awake?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stress hormones: Ignoring your innate need for adequate restorative sleep can cause stress, which is related to increased levels of cortisol and other hormones. Chronic stress can cause inflammation and a broad array of adverse conditions. Take a daily sleeping calendar to your primary care physician. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/sleepdisorders.html
