Not true. It is more important to go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time everyday. Not everyone needs eight hours. In fact, if I get eight hours sleep I usually feel tired and groggy for the entire day.
Many drugs affect the release, arrest and efficacy of serotonin, including antidepressants, psychedelic hallucinogens, synthetic opiates, dissociatives, drugs for treating migraines, antihistamines, and stimulants such as MDMA.
After serotonin is released by a neuron it activates receptors located on adjacent neurons. After activating these receptors serotonin is taken up by neurons, sometimes for reuse. More recent drugs inhibit the uptake of serotonin, again making it stay in the synapse longer.fter serotonin is released by a neuron it activates receptors located on adjacent neurons.
