The 14-day protocol
Reset week
Reduce caffeine to one cup AM only. DEEP Reset + Magnesium Drift + Sleep Strips PM stack. Ashwagandha Apex AM. Calm Drops as needed mid-day. Track sleep onset, deep sleep, and morning HRV. Expect the body to be tired before it gets better.
Restoration
HPA axis modulation kicks in. Sleep depth normalizes. Daytime baseline cortisol drops. Energy is steadier, not spikier. This is the phase that defines whether you commit to the 90-day or 180-day cycle.
Steady state
Sleep architecture is recalibrated. You can drop the Sleep Strips and Calm Drops to as-needed, keep the DEEP + Magnesium + Ashwagandha core daily. The 6-month TIER 4 pack ships with a Premium Travel Kit bonus.

Questions on Reset Protocol
Five products at once — isn't that a lot?
DAUPHIN is intentionally deeper than the other bundles. It's built for hyper-responders in burnout reset, not for daily maintenance. After the 14-day reset, you can drop Sleep Strips and Calm Drops to as-needed and run a 3-product steady state.
I thought Apexzen avoids melatonin?
We avoid over-dosing melatonin — the 5mg and 10mg dosing common in mass-market sleep supplements creates dependency and disrupts the endogenous rhythm. DEEP Reset uses 2mg, which is the dose supported by the actual circadian research, not the marketing version.
Will I get rebound insomnia coming off this?
At 2mg melatonin you should not. If you want extra insurance, you can taper DEEP Reset over the last 7 days of your cycle. The other four compounds aren't habit-forming.
Can I take this if I'm on antidepressants?
Talk to your physician. Ashwagandha can interact with sedatives and thyroid medication. Melatonin interacts with some sleep meds. Most users on stable medication plans tolerate the protocol well, but this is a stack — not a single compound — and the right answer is your prescriber, not us.
