I've tried taking magnesium to relax and improve sleep and it stimulates me! others have complained of this too, why?

Interesting: Magnesium is supposed to be relaxing. It is possible that you are low enough that low magnesium is hindering your metabolism and when you take some this normalize. You may have other deficiencies. I am just guessing. Hard to really tell without doing a full orthomolecular workup on you. Try taking the magnesium in the am?
