Questions about exercise and sleep connection (dopamine, endorphin)
Windzal replied to Windzal's topic in Medical Science
Someone? -
Why you don't want to sleep when you exercise in the evening? When you exercise, body temperature rises, so the melatonin decreases and you don't want to sleep, yeah? I think that rise in body temperature wakes you up, but, on the other hand, rise in the body temperature denature proteins.. I know that Dopamine can directly inhibit production and release of a molecule, melatonin, that induces drowsiness and prepares the body for sleep, but does endorphin? Does exercise increase dopamine or endorphin? The general question would be: What does make you want to sleep? And what does make you not want to sleep? Exactly. Thanks.
