8. Sleep Disorders
Magnesium’s role in calming the nervous system and regulating neurotransmitters also makes it vital for promoting healthy sleep patterns. A deficiency in magnesium can lead to insomnia or restless, unsatisfying sleep. Magnesium helps to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, responsible for relaxing the body and mind. Ensuring adequate magnesium intake can improve sleep quality and duration, contributing to overall health and well-being.
