Taking Control of Your Serotonin and Sleep
Serotonin is a powerful neurotransmitter that bridges the gap between mental health and sleep quality. By understanding its role and implementing natural strategies to support healthy serotonin levels, you can create a positive cycle of better mood and more restful sleep.
Remember that improving serotonin levels is a gradual process. Be patient with yourself and focus on sustainable lifestyle changes rather than quick fixes. Regular exercise, sunlight exposure, stress management, and a balanced diet rich in tryptophan can all contribute to healthier serotonin levels over time.
