The answer to this first unknown word is "pineal gland" while in the second unknown word is "melatonin". The SCN or suprachiasmatic nucleus stimulates and regulates the Pineal Gland to produce and generate the chemical known as Melatonin which makes us feeling dizzy and sleepy, when outdoor light diminishes at night.
