This gets shut off.

So we need something to compensate.

That's where melatonin comes in.

So melatonin goes over here, increases gabatone, and basically balances things out, right?

So this is going to be suppressive, actually.

So we're going to increase our suppression.

We're going to increase our action, and then everything works out the way that it's supposed to.

Except if you have an anxiety disorder or you struggle with anxiety, this melatonin production gets messed up.

So now we don't have something that is shutting off the amygdala.

The amygdala is becoming hyperactive.

So how do we deal with this?

How do we fix it?

First thing, you can go see a psychiatrist, go see a therapist.

It can help a lot.

So how easy it is for you to fall asleep depends on how you spend your day.

So when your body feels like the day is over, when you've done enough work, we have a whole video about this or multiple.

When you've done enough work, then your body is like, okay, fine.

Your brain is like, we did a good job today.

Now we can go to sleep.

If you procrastinate it all day, then what's going to happen is your brain is going to say, oh, we were supposed to do all the stuff you were supposed to do that you didn't do.
