105: Give your Brain a DOSE

What happens when we laugh? Our brain produces a festive cocktail of hormones, DOSE. DOSE is an abbreviation for dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. When we laugh, we get a rush of DOSE into our brains. When we laugh, our bodies feel better, and even our brains think clearer. You may also realize that you sleep better when you have a good laugh than on other nights.
