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.
In summary, the drugs that can cause serotonin side effects are those that: 1  Promote the release of 5 HT from nerve endings. 2  Prolong the action of 5 HT at nerve endings by blocking the reuptake of the neurotransmitter. 3  Mimic 5 HT by binding to serotonin receptors and eliciting similar pharmacological responses.
