I take this. I have ADHD and it’s made a huge difference for my sleep quality

I take Wild Nutrition, between 2-4 caps per night, but imagine cheaper brands might work just as well

I’ve used one of those shiatsu back massagers for over a decade for muscle tension too. Not just for back & shoulders but also over-tense thigh muscles (with the pad flat on the floor or bed) before & after exercise.

How many mgs? Be careful. An excess can cause heart arthymia

I get this from Holland and Barrett, Boots also do one (which I prefer because these tablets are enormous). I decant them into a little brown glass bottle so I feel like a Victorian lady with her tinctures; not sure if this step has medicinal benefits

I’ve read that H&B bulk up a lot of their products. Maybe that’s why they’re so big 🤷‍♀️. I use a company called Nature’s Best ☺️

Have you ever tried the magnesium creams you put on your feet? I've had *some* sleep improvement with pills and have been wondering about upping the ante.

My goal is: pleasant coma

Chiming in to say it def helps (but isn't a miracle fix for me).

@youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com I get Epsom salts by the kilo off eBay and chuck it in the bath. Works a treat for me.

youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com•28 days ago

Tried that but I sadly am also v eczema prone so that turned out to be a Not Good Idea, even with moisturiser

Magnesium flakes are magic over epsom salts.

Are you taking it right before laying down or a little before bed?

wheatles.bsky.social•28 days ago

In theory about 30-60mins before, but at current time of writing I obviously have not this evening so we'll see how this goes for me...

😂 good luck

The magnesium has been really good for my sleep. Also seems to make you dream more vividly / remember them. Haven’t remembered dreams since I was a kid. Mixed reviews on that front!
