A member asked:
I know a lot of people who take magnesium at night to help them sleep. why does it stimulate me instead of making me feel relaxed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Please Clarify: Do you mean "melatonin" and not magnesium? I have never once in my life heard of magnesium being used for sleep.
