For over 4 million years of human existence, before the advent of artificial lighting, we went to SLEEP when the sun went down and woke up when the sun came up.  More recent guidelines from TCM, Ayurveda and current research point to 10 pm –to-6 am as a good goal; it activates the Serotonin-Melatonin cycle.

Establish Circadian Rhythm (follow the sun) – “desperately important” per Dr. Perlmutter, MD [2].  Clears out dead cellular matter (autophagy), as part of rejuvenation.

Serotonin

Serotonin flows when you feel significant or important. Loneliness and depression appears when serotonin is absent. ……. Princeton neuro-scientist Barry Jacobs explains that most antidepressants focus on the production of serotonin.

Reflecting on past significant achievements allows the brain to re-live the experience. Our brain has trouble telling the difference between what’s real and imagined, so it produces serotonin in both cases. It’s another reason why gratitude practices are popular. 

[ hence, Count your Blessings ]
