Melatonin, plays an impoant role in sleep-wake cycle, is secreted by:

Melatonin is an endogenous hormone that is normally secreted by the pineal gland and is believed to be involved with the circadian sleep-wake cycle. Melatonin synthesis and secretion are increased during the dark period of the day and maintained at a low level during daylight hours. This diurnal variation in secretion is brought about by norepinephrine secreted by the postganglionic sympathetic nerves that innervate the pineal gland.
