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.
Serotonin helps regulate the body's internal clock, including the ability to feel sleepy, remain asleep, enter rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, and wake in the morning. People with chronic insomnia, unusual sleep patterns, chronic fatigue, or consistently vivid dreams may have serotonin deficiency.
Serotonin is made by the body's nerve cells from a protein called tryptophan. Serotonin works throughout the body, but mainly in the intestines, brain and blood.
