Magnesium not helping sleep? 🛌On medications?
So I was talking to someone today who wanted my help to sleep better.🛌🛌
They had seen that I recommended 400mg of magnesium glycinate, however, when they tried it for themselves it kept them up instead of aiding sleep.🛌🛌
This individual had been on certain medications for a long period of time and had just gotten off of it. They asked what other recommendations I had.🛌🛌
I would first say that you always want to consult a doctor, especially when adding something to your diet when you are on any form of medication. Second, I would say that, a general dosing is not made for everyone and you should always start and test small.🛌🛌
This is what I recommended: "Im sorry you had a bad experience with the magnesium recommendation. Current and previous medication play a huge role in how things interact with out body. Additionally, doses matters significantly. I had my mom try out magnesium glycinate and at 300mg, even that dosing was too much for her smaller body and she ended up staying up all night going to the bathroom. I would say, small incremental changes are king. Many foods more magnesium and can help naturally release melatonin. If you are sleeping fine already then i would suggest staying consistent with sleep and wake times, get sunlight on your face first thing in the morning, and wear bluelight glasses/read before bed. all of these habits will make for a better quality sleep. We don't necessarily need to hack our way to good sleep with supplements, but instead build good habits that make for great sleep consistently!"
We don't need a hack, we need habits! More learning in the classroom! Have a great day everyone!🛌🛌
