DSIP

DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide) is a naturally occurring somnogenic nonapeptide. In a research context, it is studied for its ability to promote "Delta" (deep, slow-wave) sleep, modulate the endocrine system, and reduce the physiological response to chronic stress.

Unlike sedatives, DSIP doesn't "knock you out." Instead, it helps the brain regulate its own sleep-wake architecture.

1. Reconstitution & Dosage

DSIP usually comes in 2mg or 5mg vials. It is extremely potent and should be dosed carefully.
• Reconstitution: Add 2ml of Bacteriostatic Water to a 5mg vial.
• The Concentration: This creates 2.5mg (2,500mcg) per 1ml.
• Syringe Measurement (U-100 Insulin Syringe):
o 4 units (0.04ml) = 100mcg (Common starting dose)
o 8 units (0.08ml) = 200mcg (Standard research dose)

Common Research Dosages:
• Standard Dose: 100mcg – 200mcg.
• Frequency: 2 to 3 times per week, or used "as needed."
• Note: Many researchers find that daily use leads to diminished returns. It is often most effective when used intermittently to "reset" sleep patterns.

2. The Cycle (Duration & Timing)
DSIP is rarely cycled for long periods. It is typically used to correct a period of poor sleep or high stress.

Goal Frequency Timing
Sleep Correction 3 days ON / 4 days OFF 1–2 hours before bed.
Acute Stress Support As needed (PRN) Evening.
Deep Sleep "Blast" Every other day 2 hours before bed.

Pro Tip: Timing is everything. Do not inject DSIP immediately before closing your eyes. Most researchers find the "sweet spot" is 1 to 2 hours before bedtime, as the peptide needs time to signal the brain's sleep centers.

3. Administration
• Subcutaneous (SubQ): Standard abdominal or gluteal injection.
• Non-Sedative: DSIP does not function like a sleeping pill. You likely won't "feel" it working instantly; rather, you may notice that when you do fall asleep, you stay in deep sleep longer and wake up feeling significantly more refreshed.

4. Storage & Stability
• Refrigeration: Mandatory after reconstitution.
• Fragility: Like most small peptides, it is sensitive. Do not shake the vial.
• Longevity: Best used within 14–21 days of mixing.

5. Potential Side Effects
• Morning Grogginess: If the dose is too high (above 250mcg), some users report feeling "too heavy" or lethargic the next morning.
• Vivid Dreams: Increased time in deep sleep stages often leads to more intense dream recall.
• Headache: Rare, but can occur if the dose is excessive for the individual.

The "Sleep & Repair" Stack

Researchers often stack DSIP with Ipamorelin:
1. DSIP: Ensures the brain enters deep Delta-wave sleep.
2. Ipamorelin: Triggers the release of Growth Hormone, which only happens effectively during deep sleep stages.

Together, they create the ultimate "Physical & Neurological Recovery" environment.
