FROM THE TRENCHES

Topic: Magnesium for Sleep

A dad in the Slack asked if magnesium actually works for sleep or if it’s just another wellness gimmick. Turns out, this one might be worth the hype.

Several dads chimed in saying magnesium has helped with sleep quality, muscle recovery, and even digestion. A few use magnesium cream on their feet and calves before bed.

Others swear by capsules or powder forms like glycinate or bisglycinate. One dad even said it’s the only thing that’ll put him down outside of a horse tranquilizer.

The consensus: it helps, but go easy on the dosage (too much powder and your stomach will hate you). Bonus tip: if you try the cream, keep it in the fridge so it doesn’t spoil.
