DSIP (Deep Sleep Inducing Peptide) is a small peptide designed to support the brain pathways involved in the stress response. It’s often used by people who struggle to “switch off” at night, wake frequently, or feel they never quite reach that deep, restful sleep that leaves them refreshed in the morning.

DSIP is thought to work at the level of the central nervous system, helping to restore parasympathetic tone - the “rest and digest” side of the nervous system. It also calms cortisol and the HPA axis - the ‘tired but wired’. By supporting this calming arm of the autonomic nervous system, DSIP may help the body and mind move more smoothly into deep sleep, rather than staying stuck in a wired, alert state.

This intranasal spray is designed for quick and convenient use as part of your evening wind-down routine.

DSIP is not an FDA-approved medication and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Your healthcare practitioner will advise whether DSIP is suitable for your situation.

When used as directed and alongside good sleep habits, clients commonly use DSIP to help support:

Deeper, more restorative sleep

Helping you reach the deeper stages of sleep associated with physical repair, hormone balance and waking feeling more refreshed.

Easier “switch-off” at night

Supporting the calming, parasympathetic side of the nervous system so the body can move out of “fight or flight” and into “rest and digest” mode before bed.

Reduced night-time waking

Some people find they experience fewer night-time awakenings and a more continuous sleep pattern when using DSIP as part of a structured routine.

Next-day energy, focus & mood

Better-quality sleep is closely linked with steadier energy, clearer thinking and a more stable mood during the day. DSIP is used to support these outcomes by working on sleep quality, not just sleep length.

Complementary support for high-stress lifestyles

For those who are training hard, working long hours or under mental/emotional stress, DSIP can be used as one pillar in a broader plan that includes sleep hygiene, nervous-system regulation, nutrition and movement.

*Individual results vary. DSIP works best as part of a complete program created with your healthcare provider and is not a replacement for healthy sleep habits or medical care.
