So basically I was doing research about GH and found out that a ton of GH release was when you are sleeping. Now I did some research about when was the max amount released and it was about 1 hour into the sleep/the deepest sleep. But I have some questions. Does it matter when you sleep? Will there be a difference if I sleep at 10 pm vs 1 am? Is there a specific time where my body makes the most GH? I also have another question/theory. Let’s say the time you sleep doesn’t matter a lot (unless you sleep at 5 am) if I go into deep sleep, wake up after the first big hit of GH, and then go to sleep again, will I have another big hit of GH when I fall into deep sleep? I will also post some links and pictures for when I did my research:

Physiology of growth hormone secretion during sleep - PubMed
The temporal relation between the first few hours of sleep and the secretion of growth hormone (GH), which is present in normal persons of both sexes from early childhood until late adulthood, is reviewed. In adults the most reproducible pulse of GH secretion occurs shortly after the onset of...
