Always Have Disrupted Sleep? You Could Be Deficient In This Mineral

Sleep can be a fraught topic. Even when we can find the time to sleep the recommended seven to nine hours, staying asleep through the night can be a challenge in itself. There are many factors that might leave you tossing and turning, and research finds that a mineral deficiency could be one of them.

There's also room for additional studies to analyze how magnesium impacts specific markers of sleep quality, including the duration of various sleep stages and biomechanical measurements like heart rate and blood oxygen levels.

It's important to stick to a consistent sleep schedule, get plenty of sunlight first thing in the morning, and avoid sleep disrupters like caffeine or alcohol too close to bedtime. (There are even things you can do to fall asleep *right now* if you happen to be doom-scrolling in bed as you read this.)

With sleep being as important as it is, we'll take all the new information we can get on how to optimize it. Science is making strides in observing the link between magnesium and sleep and the meaningful improvement that getting enough of the mineral can make on a full night's rest.
