We know that magnetic field or EMF can lower the serotonin. A new study associated low serotonin, tryptophan hydroxylase, or both, in sudden death...

Also remember the direct link since melatonin is produced from the amino acid tryptophan via serotonin!

Again, it is interesting that tryptophan and serotonin (and hence melatonin) are involved with nitric oxide so once NO is imbalanced, you might expect the rest to follow?

Just another thought, though I haven't distinguished the chicken from the egg yet:
