I've been deeply researching - in the real sense, meaning reading everything - about peps for sleep. I have serious chronic insomnia and circadian rhythm disruptions, so this is my intense focus right now. Lots to read on Peppys, along with all the posts, on their io site and on their new Discourse site. For those with serious sleep issues the suggestion is that a higher dose and longer cycle of peps for sleep is usually required. An an FYI, there are myriad protocols with all these peps and trial and error is very much the norm. My lab is starting with DSIP, Epithalon, and then VIP. Started DSIP 7 days ago thinking the cycle would be short-term, a few weeks at 100 mcg, but that won't solve the issues, not enough of a dose, not long enough of a cycle - though even the first dose at 100mcg, the typical starting dose, RS was aware of a calm and relaxed feeling about an hour after taking it. Also trial and error around the timing of the dose - some take it 1-3 hrs before sleep, others in the AM, others in the late afternoon. My lab started with 9pm, then 11:30pm, then 6pm, then 5pm. It's possible 6pm is the right time for this lab. DSIP doesn't help with falling asleep, but provides deeper sleep once sleep is attained. And my RS has felt the deeper sleep since day 1, subjectively felt upon waking, no tracking devices in use, and despite not being able to fall asleep until between 2 and after 4 am all 6 nights DSIP has been researched. Lab started at 100mcg for 4 days, then 200mcg for 2 days, and today 300mcg. DSIP may end up being cycled for a few or several months. Epithalon will be added tomorrow, starting at 300mcg. Often people do 100 mcg for 10 days on 20 days off, monthly, others for a few or more months at a time, others a few times a week... at various dosages. Epithalon can be energizing, won't know until tried, so it could be a dose alongside DSIP at 6pm, or an AM dose. And the cycle likely will run for a few months at least. Once the lab acquires VIP, that will be added in. I still need to read more about VIP dosing and timing and cycling, but it seems the standard dosage is 200-300 or more mcg, in part depending on why it's being researched. Possibly the dose will go up and it might be a 4 week cycle, or it could be longer. Some take it with Epithalon 1-3 hours before sleep, if Epi is not energizing to them. Some in the AM. Many people jump to the duo/duo cjc/ipa and tesa/ipa, one am, the other pm, or vice versa, and those GH secretagogues have other benefits such as tissue repair, fat loss, muscle preservation, etc., but their sleep benefits are definitely secondary.
Obviously, I am putting my hard-earned (hours of reading) knowledge to work here! Perhaps more than you wanted.
And for now I really love Pegasus, gives me daily energy in a great way. Until the lab has their sleep under control - seriously under control - the lab won't research full blown give me all the energy in the world peps like mots-c and NAD+ in massive doses! Too disruptive to the lab at this time. But Pegasus has in 20ml, 20mg of NAD+ and a 50 unit dose 3x a week gives the lab's director just the perfect amount of increased energy, and it makes the lab director so very very happy, apart from the energy. It feels like another magical weapon.
