The sleep science you need to read DSIP studies honestly

You cannot judge a "sleep peptide" without knowing how sleep is actually measured. This unit builds the foundation: the NREM and REM stages, what delta waves really are, the two-process model of sleep pressure, and why "enhancing delta" is not the same as "helping insomnia".

These concepts are what let you spot the difference between a sedative and a state normaliser, and why so many DSIP findings look contradictory at first glance.
