- | Protocol Type | Dose (mcg) | Frequency | Timing | Expected Onset | Sleep Architecture Effect | Professional Assessment ||—|—|—|—|—|—|| Conservative Research Protocol | 100–150 mcg | 1x per week | 30–60 min before bed | 10–14 days | Modest increase in slow-wave sleep (10–15% vs baseline); minimal REM change | Best for first-time peptide users; lower risk of GH-related side effects but may require 4–6 weeks to observe meaningful changes || Standard Research Protocol | 200–250 mcg | 2x per week | 30–60 min before bed | 7–10 days | Moderate increase in slow-wave sleep (20–30% vs baseline); reduced nocturnal awakenings | Most commonly cited in research models; balances efficacy and tolerability; appropriate for subjects with established circadian rhythms || Intensive Research Protocol | 300 mcg | 2–3x per week | 30–60 min before bed | 5–7 days | Significant increase in slow-wave sleep (30–50% vs baseline); potential GH-mediated side effects (joint stiffness, water retention) | Higher risk
