GET ENOUGH MAGNESIUM Dr W. Davis ran medical studies which trialled the use of magnesium chloride on 200 patients.
The results were that sleep was induced rapidly and this sleep was uninterrupted; daytime fatigue also disappeared. An unexpected bonus was that anxiety and stress were both reduced. Magnesium relaxes our muscles and nervous system, helping us to wind down. Magnesium also lowers cortisol, the ‘stress hormone’ that keeps us up at night, and raises levels of melatonin, our ‘body clock’ regulator. Try topical applications of magnesium. Stay cool
Your core body temperature has a lot to do with your quality of sleep. When you fall asleep, your body temperature drops to conserve energy. However, if you are in a too-hot bedroom your body will struggle to reach and maintain the optimal temperature for sleep, resulting in poor sleep quality. According to The Sleep Council, the ideal temperature for sleep is 16-18°C: “Hot, cold and drafty rooms can seriously impact your sleep. Your body heat peaks in the evening and then drops to its lowest levels when you’re asleep, so a cool 16-18°C is thought to be an ideal temperature in a bedroom. Temperatures over 24°C are likely to cause restlessness, while a cold room of about 12°C will make it difficult to drop off.”
