Magnesium Supplementation

Magnesium Supplementation, specifically glycinate and threonate forms, activates the parasympathetic nervous system to promote deep sleep. A double-blind trial found a 17% improvement in sleep quality scores among elderly subjects, a result that is 12% higher than the average placebo effect in sleep studies. Compared to #5 (Progressive Muscle Relaxation), magnesium offers a passive approach with a similar magnitude of benefit, supported by data showing reduced cortisol levels by 25% after 8 weeks of use.
