mTOR activation is a potent sleep regulator. Still relatively new area of study, activation of mTOR prior to sleep results in shortened sleep periods, but increased amplitude.Thanks, taking it a couple days now noticed improved vascularity, and more restful sleep I get the vascularity but why better sleep? Reading this thread I am not the only one to see improvement in sleeping through the night.
Still working on this for Sleephoria, but it appears that mTOR activation triggers circadian gene expression, resulting in deeper sleep phases (if shorter periods of oscillation).
mTOR signaling regulates central and peripheral circadian clock function
Author summary The circadian clock coordinates daily physiology and metabolism in animals. There has been considerable interest in identifying mechanisms that link metabolic signals to circadian time keeping. mTOR (mammalian/mechanistic target of rapamycin) is a major intracellular sensor that...
