PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Melatonin is the only known hormone synthesized by the pineal gland and is released in response to darkness hence the name, “hormone of darkness” [10]. Melatonin provides a circadian and seasonal signal to the organisms in vertebrates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Melatonin plays an important role in regulating human sleep. Administration of sustained-release or transdermal formulation melatonin reduces sleep latency, increases total sleep time, and improves sleep maintenance [12, 13].

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: -Consider melatonin sleep help for occasional insomnia. Research shows that a supplement may help people with insomnia fall asleep slightly faster and may have bigger benefits for those with delayed sleep phase syndrome-falling asleep very late and waking up late the next day.
