I'm quite skeptical on supplements, but I have to say that Magnesium helps me sleep like a baby and feel much more relaxed generally.
Do you know why Mg helps you so much?

Poor man's TLDR: we're not sure yet, but consider taking magnesium supplementation to help with or prevent MD. The downside of light Mg supplementation seems trivial, and the upside could be strong.

...and placebo effect.
It works wonders for my sleep but I’ve never met anyone that shares that view.
