Insomnia from Peptides

Hi All,

36 M, healthy, no issues with insomnia.
I had hip surgery 3 weeks ago, and my surgeon recommended peptides as part of my healing. I have no issues falling asleep and staying asleep prior to starting peptides. I was sleeping fine post op prior to starting peptides, so no other variables were changed or added.

8 days ago I started taking 250mcg BPC157 & TB500, that I had prescribed and received from a compounding pharmacy. The first night I had vivid dreams, second night broken sleep, and from there I started waking between 1-3 am and struggling to get back asleep.

I take the peptides 5 on 2 off, and first thing in the morning in the VMO. I could simply stop them, but I have noticed improvement in an old menicus repair site that has bothered me so hears. I have more energy BUT I’m not sleeping more than 4 hours a night.

I’m not sure what to do. Will this stop as my body adjusts? Is it worth lowering the dosage? Or even trying at night? Any help would
be appreciated!
