PeptiSleep™ improves getting to sleep and quality of sleep in adults with sleep impairment
In a randomized, placebo-controlled pilot study, PeptiSleep™, a rice protein hydrolysate, showed nominally significant improvements in getting to sleep (p=0.050) and quality of sleep (p=0.036) as measured by the Leeds Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire. The study was exploratory with a small sample size (n=26) and no adjustments for multiple comparisons.

The Claim
PeptiSleep™ improves getting to sleep and quality of sleep in adults with sleep impairment
This conclusion is most relevant to: Adults aged 18-65 with sleep impairment.
What the Research Shows
The conclusion draws on 1 linked study. Highlights from the cited literature:
- ▸Effects of PeptiSleep™ on sleep modification and biometrics in adults with sleep impairment: A randomised, placebo-controlled pilot study. (Sleep medicine: X, 2026) —
How It Works
The proposed biological pathway:
- ▸PeptiSleep™ is a rice protein hydrolysate identified via in silico prediction
- ▸Contains bioavailable peptides that may modulate sleep-related pathways
- ▸Ingestion leads to improved sleep initiation and quality
- ▸Result: Nominally significant improvements in getting to sleep and quality of sleep
Who Might Benefit
Evidence fit by population:
- ▸Adults aged 18-65 with sleep impairment
Recommended Dose
N/A
Limitations & Caveats
Important context when interpreting this evidence:
- ▸Small sample size (n=26) and pilot/exploratory design
- ▸Single-blinded, no adjustments for multiple comparisons on secondary endpoints
- ▸Objective biometrics were exploratory and not statistically significant
Frequently Asked Questions
What is PeptiSleep™?▼
PeptiSleep™ is a rice protein hydrolysate, a natural compound identified using artificial intelligence and peptide science, designed to improve sleep quality.
How effective is PeptiSleep™ for sleep?▼
In this pilot study, it showed nominally significant improvements in getting to sleep (p=0.050) and quality of sleep (p=0.036) compared to placebo, but results are exploratory and need confirmation in larger trials.
Who was studied in this trial?▼
The study included 26 adults aged 18-65 with self-reported sleep impairment, who were followed for 56 days.
Are there any side effects or safety concerns?▼
The abstract does not report side effects, but the study was small and short-term; more research is needed to establish safety.
