tired (but wired) at 2 a.m.? you might be deficient in *THIS*...

If you’ve been waking up tired, foggy, and not quite yourself, the problem may not be your bedtime…

It may be a mineral.

Magnesium powers over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, and it plays a direct role in the sleep-wake cycle.

It quiets the stimulating neurotransmitters that keep your mind racing at night, and it activates GABA receptors, which calm nerve activity so your body can finally wind down.

Here's the problem: hitting the recommended 310 to 360mg (women) or 400 to 420mg (men) a day is tougher than it sounds, and up to 75% of people don't make it there.

Additionally, stress burns through magnesium faster, and low magnesium makes you more reactive to stress, a loop that often shows up as being wide-awake at 2 a.m.

In one clinical study of middle-aged adults with sleep problems, 58% were magnesium deficient. In another, stressed students who took 250mg daily for four weeks saw their magnesium levels rise and their cortisol levels fall.

While melatonin can help you fall asleep, magnesium is a foundational nutrient that supports a healthy sleep routine and helps you maintain consistent, restful nights.

That’s why I recommend using BIOptimizers’ Magnesium Breakthrough, which includes 7 forms of magnesium. Each one reaches your tissues differently, so together they cover far more ground than any single form could alone.

Better sleep rarely comes from one big change. It’s a regular schedule, a screen-free half hour before bed, no caffeine within four to six hours of lights out, and giving your body the magnesium it has been running short on.

You can't try harder at sleep, but you can help give your body what it needs to support its nightly restoration.

If you’re ready to replenish your magnesium levels, you can use code BEN15 to save 15% off here.
