Wasp venom and catecholamine

How can a molecule so important for learning (catecholamine) also be an important ingredient in wasp venom?

Poor sleep after strenuous exercise

On days when I exercise strenuously (run, bike) I have difficultly sleeping (falling asleep, waking multiple times, and waking early) even if I work out prior to noon. Why is this? I once heard that our body can consume amino acids such as adenosine more after a difficult workout but I have no idea if this is really the case. What can I do to get better sleep on days that I work out strenuously?

Dopamine and menstrual cycle

Does dopamine vary in accordance with the menstrual cycle and if it does how so?

Poor sleep when getting sick

When I am catching a virus (and sometimes after symptoms arrive) I experience poor sleep. This includes difficulty falling asleep, waking up frequently, difficulty falling back to sleep, and waking up early. Why do I experience this and is there anything I can do to get better sleep when it is most needed?

Appetite regulation with hypothalamus dysfunction

How does one regulate appetite with hypothalamus dysfunction? I have been dairy free beef only high fat carnivore for a few years now but still struggle with my addiction to the behavior of eating. I can binge on beef and tallow. Since getting off oxycodone 5 years ago, food and working out are the only 2 things that genuinely make me feel any kind of good way in life. Without oxytocin, their is no connection to others. Eating and working out have become my drugs do choice.
