00:00Magnesium supplements are popular among people looking for better sleep.
00:03But experts say magnesium is not physically addictive.
00:07Stopping magnesium does not cause withdrawal symptoms or physical cravings.
00:11Some people, however, may develop a psychological dependence on the supplement.
00:16Taking it nightly can make the brain associate magnesium with falling asleep.
00:20Without it, anxiety about sleep may make it harder to relax.
00:24Experts say magnesium deficiency may also explain some of these concerns.
00:28Deficiency can cause sleep disturbances and insomnia, especially in some adults.
00:33Adults generally need between 310 and 420 mg daily.
00:38Magnesium helps support the nervous system, melatonin regulation, and muscle relaxation.
00:43Experts recommend getting magnesium mainly through foods such as leafy greens, nuts, and seeds.
00:49Supplements may help when getting enough magnesium through diet is difficult.
00:54Maintaining healthy sleep habits remains important alongside any supplement.
