The pineal gland is a tiny endocrine gland found in the brain. It produces and secretes the hormonemelatonin, which is a hormone that helps regulate biological rhythms such as sleep and wake cycles. The secretion ofmelatonin is inhibited by light and triggered by darkness.


The pineal gland is a small structure inside thebrain that influences the sleep cycle by secreting the hormone melatonin. But claims have spread that the pineal gland also can produce DMT, a claim that has been used as a biological explanation for dreams, UFO abductions, and other out of body experiences.

Explanation:

The pineal gland is a small, pea-shaped gland in the brain. Its function isn't fully understood. Researchers do know that it produces and regulates some hormones, including melatonin. Melatonin is best known for the role it plays in regulating sleep patterns. Sleep patterns are also called circadian rhythms........................
