PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Natural melatonin is an important hormone for regulating your sleep-wake cycle. While several factors can negatively affect how long and how well you sleep, the amount of melatonin your pineal gland is making could be one of them. If you’re having issues with sleeping, be sure to talk to your healthcare provider.

Detailed explanation-2: -Melatonin is the hormone best known to affect sleep, being low during the daytime but rising once darkness sets in, leading to sleep. Melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland, to which the SCN projects via multiple synapses to drive the Circadian rhythm of production of this hormone.

Detailed explanation-3: -Melatonin is a hormone that your brain produces in response to darkness. It helps with the timing of your circadian rhythms (24-hour internal clock) and with sleep.

Detailed explanation-4: -Melatonin has, therefore, often been referred to as a ‘sleep hormone’; although it is not essential for human sleep, we sleep better during the time that melatonin is secreted.
