Sleep is run by the nervous system — evaluated by a board-certified neurologist in Las Vegas.
Medically reviewed by Charles Kamen, MD, board-certified neurologist
Poor sleep affects energy, weight, mood, and cognition — and it is fundamentally a nervous-system process, which is Dr. Charles Kamen's area of board certification. That makes a neurologist-led evaluation especially relevant.
We look at the drivers of poor sleep — circadian rhythm, hormones, stress, and lifestyle — before considering any protocol. Sleep-related peptides, when appropriate, are supervised by a physician.
Every plan begins with a complete medical evaluation by Dr. Charles Kamen, MD. Individual results vary, and we do not guarantee specific outcomes.
Sleep is an active, brain-driven process — not just the absence of being awake. Your circadian rhythm, melatonin and cortisol timing, core body temperature, and neurotransmitter balance all coordinate to move you through the sleep stages that restore the body and clear the brain. Disrupt any of them and sleep quality suffers even if you spend enough hours in bed.
Common drivers include circadian misalignment (light, screens, shift work), stress and elevated evening cortisol, hormonal changes (including perimenopause and low testosterone), caffeine and alcohol, certain medications, and untreated issues such as sleep-disordered breathing. As a neurologist, Dr. Kamen evaluates sleep through the lens of the system that actually controls it.
Because sleep is governed by the brain, the evaluation is led by a physician trained in the nervous system. Dr. Kamen reviews your sleep patterns, stress, hormones, and lifestyle, and addresses the drivers — often the highest-yield changes are circadian and hormonal, not a single product.
Where appropriate, sleep-related peptides may be considered. DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide) is studied in the context of sleep regulation and circadian rhythm; Selank is studied for calm and stress resilience that can affect sleep. Any protocol is prescribed and supervised after evaluation.
A neurologist-informed assessment of your sleep
Circadian rhythm, stress, and hormonal contributors
Caffeine, alcohol, medication, and lifestyle factors
Whether a protocol is appropriate for your situation
Considered only when medically appropriate, after a complete evaluation.
Studied in the context of sleep regulation and circadian rhythm.
Studied for calm and stress resilience that can affect sleep.
Addresses hormonal and metabolic drivers of poor sleep.
Supports cellular energy tied to circadian and metabolic health.
Sleep is regulated by the brain and nervous system — Dr. Kamen's area of board certification — so the evaluation and any protocol are guided by a physician with specific neurological training.
Circadian misalignment, stress, hormonal changes, caffeine and alcohol, medications, and lifestyle factors all affect sleep quality. A medical evaluation identifies the contributors rather than masking them.
Peptides studied in a sleep context, such as DSIP, are not FDA-approved drugs. They may be considered when medically appropriate, after evaluation and under physician supervision.
No. The goal is to find and address why your sleep is disrupted — circadian, hormonal, or lifestyle — rather than mask it. Any protocol is individualized after evaluation.
The initial medical evaluation is $88 and includes a clinical consultation and lab orders when appropriate.
