pineal
Brain's sleep regulator
Pineal describes something shaped like a pine cone, but the word appears almost exclusively in anatomy.
The pineal gland is a small structure deep in the brain that produces melatonin and regulates sleep cycles.
In some philosophical and mystical traditions, the pineal gland is called the "third eye" and associated with spiritual insight.
