    Let's take a look at magnesium for sleep or anxiety and when you may need to try something else instead. Sometimes, low magnesium is not the cause of your anxiety or sleep problems, and taking it can even worsen your symptoms.
    The second part of sleep is called REM sleep. People with higher levels of adrenaline and cortisol tend to wake up around 2:00 am during REM sleep. Magnesium will not fix this problem because the high cortisol levels are not caused by low magnesium.
    Stress and lack of exercise can cause poor sleep. Exercise, long walks, and physical labor can reduce stress and improve sleep.
    If you find that you have difficulty getting to sleep because of racing thoughts and overthinking, you may be low in vitamin B1. Carbs, sugar, and caffeine can deplete vitamin B1. Taking B1 before bed can provide an immediate sense of calmness. Always choose a natural B1 supplement, not synthetic.
    Instead of taking a melatonin supplement, it can be more beneficial to address why you do not have enough melatonin in the first place. Melatonin is inhibited by blue light. Darkness and infrared light recharge melatonin, so try getting sunlight or sitting by a fire.
    Vitamin D before bed can help you sleep. Magnesium will not work if you're very low in vitamin D and vice versa.
    If you're new to fasting and you go to bed hungry, it can interfere with your sleep. If fasting triggered your sleep problem, scale back, and begin fasting more gradually over time. Try incorporating more carbs at your last meal and increasing your carb intake to 50 grams per day.
    Having plenty of sea salt on keto and intermittent fasting is vital. Salt causes your body to retain fluid, so not only will it help you sleep, but it can also help prevent waking to use the bathroom.
    If you do need magnesium, try taking magnesium glycinate to help support sleep and reduce anxiety.

      @glen4326 Před 8 dny

      Same here, bed at 2, wake at 5 am. I gotta say, circadian rhythm is key. I sleep so good in Winter, worse in Summer. It's a pattern. Also, the season light exposure changes yet we adhere to a 9 to 5 or 6 a to 5 pm schedule. What happens is in the summer, the melatonin must be too low and the extra long daylight hours cause late bed time being shifted ahead. In winter, I could fall asleep at 8 pm, 9 pm. In Summer, it feels like I could go to sleep at 2 am 3 am. We're not living like animals..they get up and go to bed with the sun. Humans have it bad.

    Treating the symptom and not the cause and im sure these prescription meds are doing more damage than good.

    Dr. Berg, I started taking Mag-G a couple of years ago for night leg cramps, and it immediately took away my cramps. I easily fall asleep early, yet wake up between 2-3AM. Part of that was my guys snoring (he would fall asleep in the living room and come to bed at that time and wake me up) I recently started working out of the home and BOOM overnight my sleep schedule went back to normal and I'm sleeping all night until the alarm goes off. We both started Keto as well. We both notice we feel amazing while we're shredding weight. I take (1) 650 Mag-G daily, and that's all I need. The bottle says you can take (3) I started out at the lowest dose. There is no sense in taking too much if you can achieve your goal from (1) pill 😊 also, I don't have constipation ever. Mag-G is amazing, and it nearly worked overnight for me.

    I had restless leg syndrome for about 3 weeks. I was doing keto, fasting, exercising, taking magnesium and b1 and nothing was working. Eventually I took a chance and got an iron supplement as I suffer from heavy menstrual cycle. It worked in 3 days and I could finally fall asleep and stay asleep again.

    I'm a big proponent of magnesium for stress and anxiety and tinnitus as I am autistic and suffer from ptsd and have anxiety issues and tinnitus. But I have never felt magnesium helps me sleep, and while I was working, I had to stay up late until I was tired enough to sleep, even though I took 1000mg of magnesium per day and smoked marijuana. Also, trying to eat a lot of green veggies to get high levels of magnesium can cause thickening of the blood. My wife has this issue because her culture eats a lot of greens and her blood is so thick she has circulation problems and physical exertion causes her chest pains quite often. Good info in this video that most don't know.

    Hello, I love your channel. I take magnesium at night to stop myself from having terrible cramps in my legs. And it has helped me enormously. I am not waking up in the middle of the night trying not to scream because the pain was😮 so excruciating in my toes and my feet my thighs. I have it because of chemo. I’m been finished with it for several years but cramping is something I have because of the chemo and I have neuropathy in my toes. I really appreciate everything you do for us. Thank you.

    Currently going through a bunch of stuff with my special needs kids. I have 3. (PANDAS/PANS, Autism and the other fun stuff OCD,ADHD) fun how it all gets lumped up together but MTHFR (which really is a mother f***ker) seems to be a problem for us and magnesium is something I have to learn about because it has helped me myself with migraines and other things but I myself am so dis-regulated due to insane stress levels that getting my thoughts collected is an issue. I want to thank you so much for your content and sense of humor because I always go back and listen to your videos to help me with our crazy lifestyle here at home. It has helped tremendously and given me some help for myself... I just keep getting back to my terrible habits lol but I always feel good when I follow keto and intermittent fasting.. I just keep using stress as my excuse to cheat 😅... anyway I love your videos and your content.... wish all practitioners who are in insurance plans thought and did the research like you. Hopefully one day we move away from the corruption that is our health care system and food industry and start the process to actual healthcare and nutrition.

Love that you also mention non-supplement strategies like getting more sunlight and managing stress through physical work - a holistic approach is key! 👍💡 Your knowledge really sheds light on the complex dance of elements within our bodies, possibly including the endocannabinoid system which has its own role in sleep regulation.

    For me, someone who suffers chronically with poor sleep due to what I suspect to be a high cortisol situation, the combination of magnesium glycinate and calcium Lactate works like a charm. Not too much mag though. Even a little too much and I don't sleep. I have a theory that it can upset the balance of potassium, which causes one to not be able to relax. Doing mundane tasks like knitting and sewing really helps me with stress. I have CFS and can't exercise atm.

I believe ashwagandha has helped with inflammation overall, and that benfotiamine has helped with neuropathy. While I have no sense about the nutritional yeast, it's supposed to also help with nerve issues.

      I found any type helps me, otherwise I'm up in the middle of the night if I can even get to sleep. Lately I've been using occasionally using melatonin to just get to sleep and magnesium with it to stay asleep. With that I'm getting 7hrs and well balanced Light/REM/Deep, according to my watch. Without I just get 90% light sleep and maybe a sliver of REM if any and I wake up tired.
      I've not tried glycinate yet, but that's on my todo.

    *Recently I discovered just how low I am in magnesium. There were some issues with blood pressure medication, so had to discontinue it for a while. I suffer from anxiety and have a hard time sleeping too. So, after watching many Dr Berg videos on magnesium, i tried magnesium glycinate in the am and magnesium l-threonate in the evening. The surprise was that my blood pressure is now normal :
    115-128/70-76; heart rate also fell from about 82 to 72 bpm. Falling asleep is easy now too, Of course the magnesium dosage will have to be adjusted later as needed. With Dr. Berg sharing so much info and research I now understand how "knowledge is power"! 😊
