Peptides studied in relation to sleep reveal regulatory mechanisms that coordinate sleep phases and the recovery of brain functions. These molecules shorten the latency of falling asleep, deepen the regenerative stages of the sleep cycle, and promote the elimination of waste products from brain tissue. Several peptides also reduce the frequency of nighttime awakenings and mitigate the impact of stress factors on sleep.

DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide) is a structurally short neuropeptide of natural origin that influences a number of endocrine as well as physiological processes in the central nervous system. It was first isolated in 1970s from cerebral venous blood of rabbit brains during slow-wave sleep. It is of great interest for its effects and ability to induce...
