Hi Kaushal,
Melatonin is a hormone secreted by a
pea-sized, pine-cone-shaped gland called the pineal gland The
pineal gland is located in the center of the brain
Melatonin helps put us to sleep, but another
hormone called the DHEA(DiHydroEpiAndosterone)
that keeps us asleep during the later phases
of sleep DHEA is also responsible for most of the intensified
dreaming, memory consolidation and bodily repair activities that
occur during sleep
Hope this
helps,
Cheers!!
