Can't Sleep? Let's Talk About Your New Bedtime Bestie - Magnesium!

Hey there! Dr. Bec here, and today we're diving into something I hear about ALL the time in my clinic (and honestly, have experienced myself!) – sleep struggles.


You know that feeling when you're exhausted but your brain just won't shut up? Yeah, THAT one. Let's chat about why this happens and how magnesium might be your secret weapon for better sleep!

The Sleep Drama (Why Your Brain Won't Shut Up)

First up, if you're one of those magical unicorns who falls asleep in 5 seconds flat – this probably isn't for you (but your partner might want to read on! 😉).


For the rest of us mere mortals, here's what's actually going on.

Your Body's Sleep Switch: The Science Made Simple

Think of your nervous system like a house with two different switches:

The Go-Go-Go Mode Problem

  • The "Go-Go-Go" switch (sympathetic nervous system) 
  • The "Rest and Digest" switch (parasympathetic nervous system)

Why Your Sleep Switch is Stuck

The problem? Most of us mums are stuck with that "Go-Go-Go" switch permanently ON!


Here's the thing – your body can't properly release melatonin (your sleep hormone) when you're in "Go-Go-Go" mode. It's like trying to sleep with all the lights on and kids jumping on the bed – it just doesn't work!

Magnesium: Your Natural Sleep Superhero

This is where it gets interesting (promise I'll keep the science bits simple!). Magnesium helps:

  • Calm your nervous system (bye-bye, racing thoughts!) 
  • Boost GABA (your natural chill-out chemical) 
  • Support melatonin production (hello, sleepy time!)

Signs You Need More Magnesium

You might need more magnesium if you:

  • Have tummy troubles (affects absorption) 
  • Love your wine (no judgment, but alcohol depletes magnesium) 
  • Are constantly stressed (hello, most mums!) 
  • Can't remember the last time you had a proper night's sleep

Quality Sleep > Quantity Sleep


Ever slept for ages but still woke up feeling like you've been hit by a truck? That's all about sleep quality, mama!


Research Shows (Because Science is Cool):

  • Magnesium helps you fall asleep faster 
  • Improves sleep quality (less tossing and turning!) 
  • Reduces stress hormones (cortisol) 
  • Helps you stay asleep longer
