Your pineal gland is crucial to the quality of your sleep. Timestamps: 0:00 Your pineal gland plays an important role in sleep 0:45 Melatonin produced by the pineal gland has many functions in your body 2:03 This is what you can do to improve sleep In this video, I explain about the pineal gland. It actually has optical tissue, probably because tissue from your retina extends up into the pineal gland in your brain. It produces a hormone called melatonin. Although you can take melatonin to help you sleep, I don’t recommend it. Because it’s a hormone, over time your pineal gland will become dependent on you taking melatonin, and you’ll need to keep increasing the amount to get the same effect. Melatonin turns into serotonin, which helps you sleep. It’s also involved with something called the adrenal axis, which is the adrenal pathway from the hypothalamus, through the pituitary gland, and down to the adrenals, creating a feedback loop that’s involved in the triggering of adrenal hormones. When you’re ill, your immune system is affected by melatonin, which is probably why you want to sleep when you get sick. Melatonin is also involved in your mood and your stress. When you’re deficient in melatonin, your immune system is weakened. This is why it’s dangerous not to get a good night’s sleep with its accompanying melatonin; you can be set up for all kinds of immune problems. You could potentially get insomnia and have anxiety. The ratio of your estrogen to progesterone could be thrown off. As you age, your melatonin decreases. If you’re on medications, especially antidepressants, they could really mess with your melatonin levels. Melatonin is triggered by darkness. And one study showed if you keep a light on for the first hour that you’re trying to sleep, you can decrease your melatonin by 71 percent. So when you go to bed, keep the lights dim or off. Low intensity aerobic exercise such as long walks will help. But be sure not to overtrain. Keep electromagnetic frequency (EMF) low. Don’t sleep with your cell phone next to your head, or surround yourself with electrical equipment. Stress can inhibit your pineal gland’s function. And finally, limit your caffeine intake.
