what causes the brain to produce melatonin
melatonin is secreted by the pineal gland in the brain. it is a hormone that helps your body prepare for sleep and is activated at night when the CNS 'turns on' the pineal to actively produce melatonin. it remain mostly 'inactive' in the day time.

why do people sleep in the day time
John
melatonin acts as a 'time cue' anticipating sleep. And since it influences our sleep-wake cycle and circadian rhythm (or body-clock), it comes to play when you didnt get enough sleep time or when you are fatigued. Hence, it activation during the day. Remember, the CNS is the 'commander' of your body
paschal
sleeping in the day time, can it be a habit?
John
anything u do very often will eventually become a habit. but u must understand that peoples' biosystem can be different - what can be a habit in mr A might be a hormonal imbalance in mr B. so, if u suddenly find yourself sleeping often in the daytime (when u are not working nightshifts) see a doctor

Naturally, John, we all use psychology in our daily interactions. if you want to study it professionally, then you have to attend an educational institution or take an online course. you can do it.

Wilhem Wundt's introspection technique with his own strict rules for the experiment. Is the technique able to recognize symptoms of mental illnesses, like schizophrenia or dementia for example, or is it only applicable to a certain degree? If so, what is the extent of this technique he used?
Oh, so, yes it can recognize mental illness symptoms?

Mehmood

Sarah
cognitive neuroscientists all study psychology biology neurologist chemistry and philosophy. they typically have training in at least one of these disciplines and can work in a variety of roles, from conducting brain research to helping therapy clients overcome mental illness.
Sarah
so I would say yes a psychologist can be a neuroscientist after furthering their education more

Amanda
could someone talk about the 4th level of maslow's hierarchy of needs pyramid. thanks
Neelkanth
@Neelkanth , The fourth level depicts self worth. It basically means pride enters one's life later on. Honestly, I don't confirm to the hierarchy much.
Zoya
An example, this a drastic example, : Making an 11 year old kid that has gone through basic conditioning beg for his/her life may be easy when you put a gun to their head.
Zoya
However, when you do so to a man in his late 30's to 40's who has also gone through the same conditioning in his childhood, it may be more difficult to make him beg. This is because he has earned a reputation. Went up the hierarchy
Zoya
