Improving sleep (magnesium & potassium)

[kamalafeet]

I was always someone who hated waking up in the morning, wanting to pull a patrick crusius the moment my eyes open up. Honest to god, magnesium and potassium fixed my sleep. Not only do I have better dreams and naturally wake earlier, but I can genuinely feel well rested on 6hrs now. I take around 600mg magnesium and the supplement has potassium as well, which not only helps sleep somehow (because magnesium glycinate alone didn't do it) but it also is useful for debloating, something I struggled with. Do reccomend. Any other tips for sleep? (Besides phenibut lmao)

How so

The body needs nutrients to work in harmony, supplementing disrupts that. You can’t just isolate nutrients and say that you need that specific nutrient

Bold to assume that’s all it does

@Whitepill is mostly correct
while some may benefit from supplements its generally better to get it naturally
1. overdose and toxicity, not all of it gets pissed out some of it builds up in your organs. depends on if its fat or water soluble
2. worse absorption, sometimes significantly worse
generally not worth it

This is true Omega 3 supplements are an aberration and vitamin d3 supplements are rat poison.

When I was like 10 for a couple months I was waking up in the middle of the night and staying up for like an hour each time not being able to go back to sleep. Right when I started taking magnesium I didn't wake up in the middle of the night once after that. Could be a coincidence or placebo, but I think it may genuinely work for some people
