Magnesium for Sleep: Start Low, Go Slow

TL;DR

• Choose glycinate for gentler GI tolerance.

• Try 100 mg elemental 1–2 hours before bed; assess, then adjust.

Common mix-ups (placeholder)

• “Per serving” vs per capsule amounts.

• Taking multiple new supplements at once—hard to tell what helped.

• Expecting sedation; magnesium isn’t a sleep drug.
