The more reading I do, I am finding "longer " protocols are better. A positive impact on sleep may not be noticed for days or even weeks. Peps that help sleep don't work like sedatives so you may not notice any change in sleep the day or night you take them; admittedly this was my expectation! They build up in the system and makes changes over time.
People report taking Dsip on a Monday with improved sleep Wednesday-Friday. (I don't have the source readily available)
I've run Dsip, Pinelaon, Epithalon, ipa/cjc.
Falling asleep and staying asleep has been an issue for me for years and the older I get, the more challenging it becomes; which is unfortunate as "repair" is essential to good physical and mental health.
Initially I quit Dsip expecting quick results, but I'm back on a regular daily schedule.
It energizes me, so I take it in the morning. I have both sub q and IN. It's only been a week; nothing to report.
Epitalon; running the 10 day a month protocol. Didn't notice any effect until day 6. My body became "naturally" tired around 8:30pm - which never happens so some changes are occurring; what I can't say.
I ran Pinealon alone but not very long. It energizes me so I take it early.
It does not "induce" sleep however, I felt more refreshed when I wake. Once I finish my Dsip study, I will go back to running a full Pinealon protocol. Stimulates the pineal gland to make melatonin among other things. I'm encouraged by what I'm finding about Pinealon.
The only combo I've tried that "induces" sleep is ipa/cjc no dac. I'm doing that 5 day on 2 off protocol. It definitely works.
Edit:: final mention :: Selank is great to help induce sleep as well. I use selank and semax "as needed ".
