Nausea: Serotonin production increases to push out harmful or poisonous food and is part of why you become nauseated. Serotonin also increases in our blood which stimulates the part of our brains that controls nausea.
Sleep: Serotonin stimulates the parts of our brain that control our sleeping and waking patterns.
Blood clotting: Serotonin is released from blood platelets to heal wounds. Serotonin narrows our tiny arteries and helps form blood clots.
