Detailed explanation-1: -Apart from this, studies have shown that melatonin also has a mutual regulatory effect with dopamine in the circadian cycle. During the day, melatonin level decreases and dopamine level increases, while at night, melatonin level increases and dopamine level decreases (Shen et al., 2017).
Detailed explanation-2: -These findings indicate that sleep generally results in increased NAc core dopamine release in the light phase. However, increased dopamine uptake leading to a shorter duration of extracellular increases in dopamine likely leads to a net decrease in dopamine activity during sleep across the entire light-dark cycle.
Detailed explanation-3: -Other, less common melatonin side effects might include: Vivid dreams or nightmares. Short-term feelings of depression. Irritability.
