When studying intro pscyh I remember a tidbit of information talking about a diurnal cycle for TSH that changed in response to sleep. The important concept was that TSH levels starting rising in the later afternoon (for normal sleep cycles) usually around sundown, and would continue rising until onset of sleep. This is important for blood test administered to people who have pulled an "all-nighter", since they will have an elevated TSH. Sorry not citation I leave that to the die hard wikipedia-er. (that's why i'm not an article editor)

We also need a graph of the TSH flux throughout a day or month (if it does change throughout a menstrual cycle) Also any information on TSH in geriactrics would be useful as well.eximo 08:12, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
