Check the Wikipedia page on magnesium deficiency, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_deficiency_(medicine) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_deficiency_(medicine... . It has solid citations and says:
"Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include ... insomnia" and "57% of the US population does not meet the US RDA for dietary intake of magnesium."
I don't know what was in the video beyond its title, but the title is solidly inside the bounds of established science.

Magnesium deficiency may be a documented problem, with documented symptoms. Taking magnesium to correct it may have unfortunate side effects, due to other drugs that you're taking, or other conditions that you may have.
