Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide, or DSIP, is a naturally occurring neuropeptide found in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. It exhibits a range of physiological effects, including, but not limited to, promoting slow-wave sleep, reducing stress, and potentially modulating pain perception. Its availability in synthetic form has led to its investigation as a potential therapeutic agent.
Interest in the peptide stems from its potential ability to enhance sleep quality without the side effects associated with some traditional sleep aids. This could lead to improved cognitive function, hormone regulation, and overall well-being. Early research explored its role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle and its potential to mitigate symptoms related to stress and anxiety.
