- Melatonin signals sleep timing to your circadian system but does not directly enhance sleep depth. It helps you fall asleep but does not necessarily improve sleep quality once you are asleep.
- DSIP appears to enhance sleep architecture itself, potentially increasing deep sleep percentage regardless of circadian timing. For those who fall asleep fine but wake unrefreshed, DSIP may address the actual problem while melatonin would not.
- The two can be combined, as they work through different mechanisms.
- However, start with one or the other to understand individual effects before adding complexity.
