Ever wonder why our conversations get a little crazy at 2am? It's like your brain is on a secret adventure.
Our bodies have an internal clock called the “circadian rhythm”. This clock controls all sorts of things, like our hormones and brain messages. When the day turns into night, our bodies start getting ready to sleep.
One of the hormones that our bodies produce less of at night is serotonin. Serotonin helps us make good decisions. It's like the superhero of our brains. But when it gets dark outside, the serotonin levels in our brain start to go down. It's like the brain is getting ready to snooze.
Another hormone that our bodies produce more of at night is dopamine. Dopamine is all about having fun, but it can make us do impulsive things.
So, the next time you're having one of those super interesting 2am conversations, you'll know that it's your brain's way of having fun when the superhero serotonin is napping. It's all in good fun, just remember to be safe and make those exciting decisions when the sun's up.
So, that's the story of why our brains work differently when the moon is shining bright. It's like a secret switch that makes us a little bit impulsive. So, have fun, but keep your superhero serotonin awake during the day for those wise choices!
Stay Curious, and remember, every moment is a chance to learn something new.
Cheers to more discoveries,
