Mindfulness training and neural systems related to sleep and depression

Mindfulness training may affect similar neural systems as antidepressants such as through monoamine neurotransmitters. Further, some meditation forms may be associated with increased levels of norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine which could affect sleep in a similar way as antidepressants (increased arousal and improved mood).
