  • Circadian Misalignment (Shift Work)
  • Delta-wave enhancement + CRH suppression
  • 1 mg SC, 3–4 hours pre-sleep, daily
  • Polysomnography (Stage 3 NREM %), cortisol AUC
  • Phase II RCT, n=112, published March 2026
  • Strongest evidence base for DSIP application; reproducible delta-wave increase across multiple trials
  • Stress-Induced Cognitive Decline
  • Nrf2 activation + IL-6/TNF-α reduction
  • 0.5 mg SC, morning administration, 6-week duration
  • Executive function testing, inflammatory biomarkers
  • Phase II RCT, n=84, published January 2026
  • Mechanistically distinct from sleep benefit; cognitive improvement independent of subjective sleep quality
  • Neuroprotection (Oxidative Stress Models)
  • SOD and glutathione peroxidase upregulation
  • 0.3–0.5 mg SC, timing flexible
  • Lipid peroxidation markers, neuronal viability assays
  • Preclinical only (rodent models), published Q1 2026
  • Promising but requires human validation; mechanism well-characterized in vitro
  • Anxiety-Related Sleep Fragmentation
  • DOR-mediated HPA axis modulation
  • 0.5–1 mg SC, evening administration
  • Sleep continuity index, wake after sleep onset
  • Mixed results; sample sizes <50 in published trials
  • Weaker than circadian misalignment data; confounded by anxiety heterogeneity
