What is the melatonin hormone?

Melatonin is a natural hormone, which is mainly produced by the pineal gland present in the brain. Although the effect of the melatonin hormone in the human body is not completely clear, most research shows that melatonin plays an important role in the circadian rhythm ie the sleep-wake cycle. Let us tell you that circadian rhythms are physical, mental, and behavioral changes, which follow a 24-hour cycle. This is the sleep-wake cycle of a person. The pineal gland produces more melatonin at night, whereas during the day, less amount of this hormone is secreted.

Functions of the melatonin hormone

Melatonin manages the sleep-wake cycle. Along with this, there are many other functions of this hormone, which are as follows -

Improve sleep

When it is dark, the pineal gland secretes more melatonin. At the same time, there is less production of melatonin as soon as it comes in contact with light. Talking in simple language, the level of melatonin in the blood decreases during the day, and its level increases during the night. When the level of melatonin is high in the body, it helps a person to get sound sleep. Along with the melatonin hormone, other factors also contribute to the ability to fall asleep and the quality of sleep. When its level is low, there can be problems related to sleep like - insomnia, sleep disorder, and sleep deprivation.
