Insomnia

Many people have trouble sleeping, and breaking the cycle of insomnia can be hard.

You can try changing your sleep routine and curbing your caffeine intake, but sometimes these lifestyle interventions fall short.

Supplements are another popular option. One supplement that’s gained some attention as a potential sleep aid is magnesium. This mineral has wide-ranging effects in the body and may influence some of the processes that promote sleep.

In order to fall asleep and stay asleep, your body and brain need to relax. Magnesium aids this process by activating the parasympathetic nervous system, the system responsible for getting you calm and relaxed.

Vitamin D also plays an important role in maintaining healthy sleep. 

Research found that people with low vitamin D had poorer quality and quantity of rest than those with adequate levels.
