serotonin for happiness
Serotonin is a naturally occurring monoamine neurotransmitter that carries signals between nerve cells throughout your body. Serotonin is a chemical messenger that affects wellbeing and happiness. Serotonin, a hormone and neurotransmitter, is commonly known as the happy chemical. 

Serotonin appears to play a role in regulating mood, sleep, digestion, nausea, wound healing, bone health, blood clotting and sexual desire. Serotonin help with overthinking. Serotonin also reduces moods swings and makes you happier in the long run. When serotonin is at normal levels, you feel more focused, emotionally stable, happier and calmer. Low levels of serotonin are associated with depression.

People with chronic insomnia, unusual sleep patterns, chronic fatigue, or consistently vivid dreams may have serotonin deficiency.
