With longer days, the sun staying out longer, and the recent (ish) time change; I have had several patients talk about sleep disturbances!! Waking often. Difficulty going to sleep. Restless sleep.

Did you know that Magnesium is one of the best supplements to take at night and promotes a restful nights sleep.

Magnesium relaxes muscles: Magnesium may also inhibit another neurotransmitter, called the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor, which could promote muscle relaxation. This could help improve general relaxation and sleep.

Magnesium promotes melatonin: Studies have found that people deficient in magnesium also have decreased melatonin, a hormone that maintains the circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm causes changes in the body according to the day-night cycle, such as feelings of sleepiness and wakefulness.

Magnesium decreases cortisol: Cortisol is a stress hormone and contributes to functions such as the fight or flight response. A decrease in cortisol could promote calm and help improve sleep.

So, before turning to something that may be more of a sedative or lingers in your body causing day fatigue…. Try the natural supplement.
