Ramadan
the author has started the abstract and introduction by focusing on relationship between the selected hormones and cicardian rhythm, however the aim of the study is to study the changes in these hormones before after Ramadan. the hormone melatonin and cortisol may be strongly correlated to sleeping pattern but ghrelin and leptin are also strongly related to huger and satiety(which is not reported in the study) . Since the study is intending to see the relationship between these hormones and ramadan and attribute this affect to change in sleeping pattern, the statistical test used of spearmans correlation is very weak as it does not take into consideration the confounders.
