There are basic vitamins, minerals and amino acids that are catalysts for all of the bodies nutrition. Magnesium is one of those. The lack of magnesium could be causing your lack of sleep.
Magnesium influences digestion, energy production, muscle function, bone formation, creation of new cells, activation of B vitamins and relaxation of muscles, as well as assisting in the functions of the heart, kidneys, adrenals, brain and nervous system. Insufficient magnesium in the body can interfere with these body processes.
Some of the lack of magnesium symptoms look just like sleep deprivation symptoms.*
- Low energy
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- PMS and hormonal imbalances
- Inability to sleep
- Weakening bones
- Muscle tension, spasms & cramps
- Abnormal heart rhythms
- Headaches
- Anxiousness
- Nervousness
- Irritability
