Let's get to the root cause of your sleep issues
4 reasons why a Magnesium deficiency could be part of the root cause of your sleep issues.
And why getting more magnesium back into your diet might just be one of the best things you can do for your sleep.
1 - Your brain wont "turn off"
Magnesium acts as the brake pedal for your nervous system.
It binds to GABA receptors (the same neurotransmitters targeted by prescription sleep aids) which quiet down racing thoughts and prepare your brain for rest.
Without enough magnesium, your brain stays in overdrive.
2 - Your stress hormones are spiking at night
When you're deficient in magnesium, your body overproduces cortisol, one of the main stress hormones.
Instead of dropping at night to let you sleep, cortisol stays high, keeping you in a state of low-grade "fight or flight."
Magnesium helps regulate the adrenal system to keep cortisol levels in check.
3 - Your muscles aren't actually relaxing
Those dreaded night cramps or restless legs just as you're drifting off to sleep.
Magnesium is responsible for pulling calcium out of your muscles, so they can fully relax.
A deficiency keeps muscles locked in a state of micro-tension.
4 - Your biological clock is out of sync
Magnesium plays a critical role in the production of melatonin (the hormone that dictates your circadian rhythm).
Your circadian rhythm is your body's internal clock.
And if you're low in magnesium, your body struggles to recognise when it's time to transition into deep sleep stages.
Most Australian's are low in Magnesium
Modern life makes it hard to hit our daily magnesium needs.
Decades of intensive farming have depleted our soils of minerals, impacting the magnesium content of our food.
And our fast-paced way of living makes it hard for even the most health-conscious among us to hit 100% our daily magnesium requirements, simply from food alone.
It's no wonder so many of us are struggling with sleep.
