Melatonin and Magnesium together at night is amazing, if you want to keep experimenting. Watch out for the pre-packaged combos though that usually have Magnesium Oxide and is a bit laxative. I prefer Magnesium Glycinate which is a bit gentler on my stomach.
- setopt 2y agoI’ve been very happy with Magnesium Threonate. It’s supposedly more efficient at crossing the blood-brain barrier than the Glycinate. (Both Threonate and Glycinate are more efficiently absorbed in the gut than the Oxide.) I take a mix of L-Theanine and Magnesium Threonate before bed and sleep way better now (feel more rested with fewer hours of sleep, and the FitBit confirms I get more deep and REM sleep). Personally I didn’t have good luck with melatonin. It puts me to sleep fine, but I tend to wake up exhausted after ~4 hours and unable to fall asleep again.
