Can Magnesium Really Help You Sleep Better? We Put It to the Test

😩 Sleep Struggles Are Too Common — But Often Fixable

You're exhausted, wired, overstimulated… and it’s only Tuesday. You’ve tried everything — melatonin, sleep apps, even turning off screens — but you’re still tossing and turning.

What if your body just needs more of what it’s missing? Like magnesium — the sleep mineral nobody talks about enough.


🧬 Why Magnesium Is Essential for Rest

It Calms Your Nervous System
Magnesium activates GABA receptors, the brain’s natural "brakes." This slows down nerve activity and helps you unwind.

It Helps You Fall Asleep (and Stay Asleep)
Clinical studies have shown that magnesium improves sleep onset, reduces awakenings, and increases sleep duration — especially when paired with calming amino acids like glycine.

It Reduces Cortisol and Nighttime Muscle Tension
Magnesium can lower circulating stress hormones and ease tightness — so your body, not just your mind, is ready for sleep.
