If your sleep schedule is all over the place, melatonin may help 💤
I'm not sure about you, but I've been a sh*tty sleeper for a good eight years and unfortunately, my sleep hasn't improved one bit. Whenever I have conversations with my friends and my grandma , they always recommend natural supplements like melatonin or magnesium for better sleep.
, MD, a board-certified neurologist in sleep medicine at Stanford Health Care to find out if magnesium, melatonin, or neither can help improve sleep."Maybe magnesium has some properties, but we just don't know. It has barely been studied," Dr. During told POPSUGAR. Most of the purported benefits seem to be anecdotal at this point, being that there are no objective measures, according to Dr. During.
Melatonin is another common sleep aid you've probably heard people tout, and according to Dr. During, the benefits and effects have been tracked by researchers for years. He explained that there are two effects that can occur depending on the dosage with the first being a sedative effect that helps you fall asleep. This effect typically occurs with doses greater than the natural dose your body produces. According to Dr.
If you aren't too fond of taking supplements and want to weigh your options, Dr. During recommends waking up around the same time every day; exercising 45 to 60 minutes every day — or at least three hours a week — to increase deep, restorative, slow-wave sleep; eating healthy food; avoiding having heavy dinners and alcohol; and unwinding 30 to 45 minutes before bedtime to allow your brain time to turn off.
If you're still up in the air about whether or not you should begin to use magnesium or melatonin as a sleep aid or you've been experiencing long-term sleep problems, we recommend speaking with a primary care physician or a sleep specialist who can provide you with more information and medical guidance.
