"20 things you don't know about me __"

1. I am released out of the peneal gland in the brain. 2. I am responsible for regulating the circadian rhythm and regulating other hormones. 3. I'm most similar to tranquilizers that cause drowsiness in people 4. My favorite activity is sleeping, because its my job to regulate the circadian rhythm do the body knows when to sleep. 5. I hate it when im trying to make someone go to sleep, but they don't. 6. The best thing about receptor sites is when i can use them once the sun goes down 7. When humans don't have enough of me they suffer from insomnia and their internal clock gets messed up. 8. In a choice between robots or zombies, id pick neither because neither of them sleep, so i'm useless to both 9. The sucky thing about being a hormone is that i work overnight, every night 10. A really strange fact about me is that I have been tested and used to treat cancer 11. My favorite food is rice, although it does not work on humans, rice has high levels of me in it that effects other smaller animals 12. I once dated a synapse, but it fell apart because i was only around at night and she was more of a day person 13. Sleep is awesome because I regulate sleep and more of me is released at nighttime while the person is asleep. 14. A neuron walks into a bar and says, ouch 15. When humans have too much of me, they can possibly experience headache, nasea and in some cases, hypothermia 16. Im not only used by humans, other animals, plants and even microbes use me 17. My home, the peneal gland, has the nickname "gland of darkness" becouse it works at night 18. People in Europe and Israel need prescriptions to take supplements of me 19. There is evidence that i may have a large role in memory formation and i can even help Alzheimers disease 20. I have even been proven to help fight radiation poisoning
