  • dopamine brings feelings of pleasure and a happiness boost while serotonin is more of a stabilizer than a booster

  • dopamine primarily controls movement, and serotonin contributes to sleep and digestion

Both dopamine and serotonin are involved in your sleep-wake cycle. Dopamine can inhibit norepinephrine, causing you to feel more alert. Serotonin is involved in wakefulness, sleep onset, and preventing REM sleep. It's also required to produce melatonin.
