Melatonin

I'm just going to take on where Stafford left off and the hormone I want to talk to you about is called melatonin and is synthesized in the pineal gland which is very small it's the size of a pea in your brain Jaykar called the seat of the soul and it is where melatonin is made. So it's working and it has a rhythm as well and in a sense, it's the opposite of cortisol it peaks at night we call it the darkness hormone in every species that we studied melatonin occurs at night and it's a hormone that prepares you for the things that your species does at nights so of course in humans we sleep but animals like rodents they're awake so it's a hormone that is related to darkness behavior.
