Low GABA Levels. One of the main causes of sleep maintenance insomnia results from low levels of the brain chemical (neurotransmitter) called GABA. GABA is your main relaxing and tranquillising brain chemical.
Medications for insomnia and hypersomnia usually act on neural systems and affect, in some manner, neurotransmitters. Sleep aids tend to work on the GABA receptors in the brain, or melatonin receptors.nce at the second cell, the neurotransmitter binds to a receptor, telling the second cell what to do or telling another neuron if to send a signal and whether it should be a strong or a weak signal. Among other things, neurotransmitters are responsible for spinal reflexes and sleep regulation.
