A good night’s rest is priceless, to say the least.

As a working mother, nothing frustrated me more than waking up at 2am to respond to the baby, and then having trouble falling asleep myself, knowing I had to get up at 6am for work.

Although scientific literature is sparse there are lots of people who report benefits with magnesium supplementation and improvement with sleep.

In 2022, one retrospective study led by an author at Columbia University was finally published that found a positive association between dietary magnesium intake and sleep quality or length (below). Before this, most studies were contradictory, small or did not find a correlation.

Nevertheless, we are in an era of magnesium supplements, everyone is on one for stress, anxiety, for better sleep, to help with restless legs…

What is the best magnesium supplement for you? some are very chunky pills. This one is a little easier to swallow, has rave reviews, and has a higher dose of 300mg so you’re not having to swallow multiple pills.
