Dr Berg notes: Sometimes, low magnesium is not the cause of your anxiety or sleep problems, and taking it can even worsen your symptoms. The second part of sleep is called REM sleep. People with higher levels of adrenaline and cortisol tend to wake up around 2:00 am during REM sleep. Magnesium will not fix this problem because the high cortisol levels are not caused by low magnesium. Stress and lack of exercise can cause poor sleep. Exercise, long walks, and physical labor can reduce stress and improve sleep. If you find that you have difficulty getting to sleep because of racing thoughts and overthinking, you may be low in vitamin B1. Carbs, sugar, and caffeine can deplete vitamin B1. Taking B1 before bed can provide an immediate sense of calmness. Always choose a natural B1 supplement, not synthetic. Instead of taking a melatonin supplement, it can be more beneficial to address why you do not have enough melatonin in the first place. Melatonin is inhibited by blue light. Darkness and infrared light recharge melatonin, so try getting sunlight or sitting by a fire. Vitamin D before bed can help you sleep. Magnesium will not work if you're very low in vitamin D and vice versa. If you're new to fasting and you go to bed hungry, it can interfere with your sleep. If fasting triggered your sleep problem, scale back, and begin fasting more gradually over time. Try incorporating more carbs at your last meal and increasing your carb intake to 50 grams per day. Having plenty of sea salt on keto and intermittent fasting is vital. Salt causes your body to retain fluid, so not only will it help you sleep, but it can also help prevent waking to use the bathroom. If you do need magnesium, try taking magnesium glycinate to help support sleep and reduce anxiety. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍

The best thing you can do for anxiety is stop having a permanent relationship with your mobile phone. Looking at it for half a day every day is not good for your mind. My advice is to get yourself a basic phone so you are in touch with your immediate people) and ditch the social media and the Internet. Spend some more time with loved ones , some time outdoors and with animals. Watch your anxiety melt away for good. All the best guys n gals ❤️ enjoy
I literally CRAVE sunlight. Morning walks with the dogs at the park, sitting in the sun, working in the sun, basking in front of my fireplace in the winter. It feels like a hug from God
Exactly my case. A lot of daily stress, no coffee, despite cannot fall asleep, finally fall asleep at 2AM and 3 hours later I am awake and feel energetic. Cannot sleep for 2 hours, finally fall asleep at 7AM. Have to wake up at 9 and feel like a zombie. This video explains very precisely how to handle this. Thank you Dr. Berg, God bless you for your valuable information 🙏🏻🕊️
As someone who has suffered from terrible anxiety and insomnia, I can tell you a little coffee is not the culprit. It's sugar and carbs. Especially late in the day. I drink one cup coffee every morning and have no problems sleeping. It was all the processed crap.
Same here, bed at 2, wake at 5 am. I gotta say, circadian rhythm is key. I sleep so good in Winter, worse in Summer. It's a pattern. Also, the season light exposure changes yet we adhere to a 9 to 5 or 6 a to 5 pm schedule. What happens is in the summer, the melatonin must be too low and the extra long daylight hours cause late bed time being shifted ahead. In winter, I could fall asleep at 8 pm, 9 pm. In Summer, it feels like I could go to sleep at 2 am 3 am. We're not living like animals..they get up and go to bed with the sun. Humans have it bad.
I started taking a magnesium complex a Potassium supplement and a D3 before sleep and Im finally able to fall asleep fast and sleep most of the night! I also started taking Bioavailable vitamin B complex.
Dr Berg. You answered SO many of my magnesium /cortisol and fasting questions/ issues. I’d never get this info from doctor elsewhere. You are one in a million. Keep it up.
I love you for this one! This answers the other issue! The first is the nutrition. I slept all night last night because I didn't take Vitamin D before bed. I took Vitamin B1. I slept all night. I am so happy and I feel rejuvenated. I am so grateful!
@@sandybeach5253 stopped the Vitamin D3 before bed. I added B1 and when I slept, I did not wake up at all. Hasn't happened in a long while. I also slept soundly without pain when I woke up. Less sinus pressure so I am looking forward to what happens tomorrow when I wake up.
Magnesium makes me very nauseous if not taken with food so I can t take it at night if I don't take Zofran and I can't take Zofran in a dose high enough to help that bc it makes me restless which defeats the purpose.
I had restless leg syndrome for about 3 weeks. I was doing keto, fasting, exercising, taking magnesium and b1 and nothing was working. Eventually I took a chance and got an iron supplement as I suffer from heavy menstrual cycle. It worked in 3 days and I could finally fall asleep and stay asleep again.
Dr. Berg, I started taking Mag-G a couple of years ago for night leg cramps, and it immediately took away my cramps. I easily fall asleep early, yet wake up between 2-3AM. Part of that was my guys snoring (he would fall asleep in the living room and come to bed at that time and wake me up) I recently started working out of the home and BOOM overnight my sleep schedule went back to normal and I'm sleeping all night until the alarm goes off. We both started Keto as well. We both notice we feel amazing while we're shredding weight. I take (1) 650 Mag-G daily, and that's all I need. The bottle says you can take (3) I started out at the lowest dose. There is no sense in taking too much if you can achieve your goal from (1) pill 😊 also, I don't have constipation ever. Mag-G is amazing, and it nearly worked overnight for me.
I bought magnesium from Walmart. I was eating healthy and working out daily, after giving up caffeine, sugar, breads & cereals, and carbonated drinks. Consistently lost 1 or 2 lbs a week, but still had a gut that wouldn't decrease. When I found out that all 6 vitamins I was taking had cellulose. And the magnesium even contained talc they all went to trashcan and my gut shrank as fast as my energy increased.
Theres a lot of foods that has cellulose in it. Carbonated drinks are not bad for you either (obviously no sugar). Caffeine isn't bad for you, eat sourdough (natural ingredients) if you want some bread. Enjoy the health journey and congrats on the weight loss!
Whole food vitamins/supplements are the best 😊 the vitamins/supplements sold through practitioner's are not sourced from China and do not use garbage fillers, yes they may cost more but it's worth it to me because they truly do work! Over the counter vitamins/supplements can do more harm than good.
Magnesium is also high in sunflower seeds. In fact, I found out I was deficient in magnesium when I had a headache, and ate some sunflower seeds then observed that my headache went away. I began supplementing magnesium, and I stopped getting headaches related to cervical degenerative disc disease.
New favorite word - Carbage. I too have cervical degenerative disc disease, Osteoarthritis, and Psoriatic Arthritis - sad how we get used to living in pain. I've taken Life Extension Mag-Threonate, and a cheaper Mag-Glycinate - still wake up at 2 am every night.
@@Lola-tq8nv Thanks for the kind response. I hope taking magnesium glycinate and threonate before bed helps. Magnesium has changed my life. Best wishes! PS: You may also want to look into ashwagandha, benfotiamine, and (organic unfortified) nutritional yeast. I also take those. I believe ashwagandha has helped with inflammation overall, and that benfotiamine has helped with neuropathy. While I have no sense about the nutritional yeast, it's supposed to also help with nerve issues.
Wow, that''s why I crave sunflower seeds. I hate the ones that are roasted and are full of oil and salt. So I buy the ones in the shell. It's more like a snack, I guess.
Anxiety often comes from within. Our constant worries about the past and the future taking over our mind and filling us with a narrative we blow out of all proportions. Its best in my opinion to heal this from within. Remember there IS only now. Remember when you are laying in bed warm and cosy that nothing bad is happening at that moment. Its also worth noting that our fears are not likely to happen either! The best thing about it is that its not something you have to achieve. Its inside you right now. Conciousness is the key
magnesium glycinate has been a game changer for me. I felt so much better the minute I took a capsule. i get a great night's sleep and feel calmer during the day. also, I fast from around 7 pm until noon or 1 pm each day. i take one capsule in the morning and one about an hour before going to sleep. lastly, i walk each day in the evening for about an hour.
I agree glycinate works well for me for my sleep. I was taking the citrate form and I was awake the entire night so I started taking glycinate and now sleep so much better.
I found any type helps me, otherwise I'm up in the middle of the night if I can even get to sleep. Lately I've been using occasionally using melatonin to just get to sleep and magnesium with it to stay asleep. With that I'm getting 7hrs and well balanced Light/REM/Deep, according to my watch. Without I just get 90% light sleep and maybe a sliver of REM if any and I wake up tired. I've not tried glycinate yet, but that's on my todo.
For anyone who took calm...they changed their mag from the kind we all needed to the make ya poop kind!! No wonder whyour 16 yr old stopped being so mellow and started with random poop issues lol
I first started with the citrate during the day since it gave me energy but when that stopped I started taking it at night and It’s helped so much with my sleep and now I wake up with energy instead of feeling exhausted and tired I love it
Ok Dr. Berg. Excellent video. I have a different situation when it comes to sleep. I don't go to bed until around 1.30 am. The reason for this is because I'm in the Music Business and I work on stage. Sometimes I'm just getting home at 4am or later! If I'm not gigging, my body clock stays up until the early hours. Usually I don't have a lot of difficulty going to sleep, but once I wake up my brain goes into overdrive and very often I'm awake for a couple of hours! Not always, thank goodness. Anyway, to get to the point I found this video very interesting. I have now purchased Magnesium Glycinate 2,400 mg (2 tablets per night) and also stronger Vitamin D. I think they are working a little bit but I have only just started taking them, so time will tell. They were as you ponted out far more expensive but they will be worth it. I have every faith in your diagnosis. Thank you again.
For me, someone who suffers chronically with poor sleep due to what I suspect to be a high cortisol situation, the combination of magnesium glycinate and calcium Lactate works like a charm. Not too much mag though. Even a little too much and I don't sleep. I have a theory that it can upset the balance of potassium, which causes one to not be able to relax. Doing mundane tasks like knitting and sewing really helps me with stress. I have CFS and can't exercise atm.
*Recently I discovered just how low I am in magnesium. There were some issues with blood pressure medication, so had to discontinue it for a while. I suffer from anxiety and have a hard time sleeping too. So, after watching many Dr Berg videos on magnesium, i tried magnesium glycinate in the am and magnesium l-threonate in the evening. The surprise was that my blood pressure is now normal : 115-128/70-76; heart rate also fell from about 82 to 72 bpm. Falling asleep is easy now too, Of course the magnesium dosage will have to be adjusted later as needed. With Dr. Berg sharing so much info and research I now understand how "knowledge is power"! 😊
Well, it’s really a balancing act. Everybody has a different constitution, different life experiences, traumas, etc. everything is multifactorial si there is no one rule for everyone. I believe Dr Berg is giving us general suggestions and guidance. We need to listen to our own bodies and Experiment. I guess we can say that we are our own Guinea pigs.
Do a video on the importance of having adequate potassium levels before you add magnesium. It's crucial. Potassium levels are also very important for sleep
@stern4141 Dr Berg is far more qualified than me to do this and has a massive audience who would benefit from the information. I found out by accident how important it was and it changed my health. My comment was to hopefully get Dr Berg to put out that info too. Your comment seemed to have another purpose entirely. Hope your OK
Currently going through a bunch of stuff with my special needs kids. I have 3. (PANDAS/PANS, Autism and the other fun stuff OCD,ADHD) fun how it all gets lumped up together but MTHFR (which really is a mother f***ker) seems to be a problem for us and magnesium is something I have to learn about because it has helped me myself with migraines and other things but I myself am so dis-regulated due to insane stress levels that getting my thoughts collected is an issue. I want to thank you so much for your content and sense of humor because I always go back and listen to your videos to help me with our crazy lifestyle here at home. It has helped tremendously and given me some help for myself... I just keep getting back to my terrible habits lol but I always feel good when I follow keto and intermittent fasting.. I just keep using stress as my excuse to cheat 😅... anyway I love your videos and your content.... wish all practitioners who are in insurance plans thought and did the research like you. Hopefully one day we move away from the corruption that is our health care system and food industry and start the process to actual healthcare and nutrition.
you're stressed because you decided to have 3 special needs kids really, 1 is enough stress for any person. but that's life you choose it. food and health system is corrupt and wants to kill you make you weak sick and special, but so do those jabs they give you and your unborn children. Bet all 3 had them.
I take magnesium malate before bed and have done it for years now, not only to aid sleep but to relieve nerve pain in my foot. This has definitely worked for me.
My wife and I do Keto/Carnivore with Intermitted Fasting, just added Magnesium Glycinate with Vitamin D3 before bed, game changer, deep sleep, a lot of times I am completely refreshed and ready for work after 6-7 hours of sleep, and the Lucid dreams are insane.
Thanks - I will try switching to PM instead of breakfast for Mag & Vit D&K. I was afraid of stomach upset if taken at bedtime, I don't want to eat that late.
I’ve been taking magnesium and D3k2 for 2 weeks.. I was waking up 2-3am for hours.. 5 hrs sleep max.. exhausted.. heart palpable 62 yrs old.. no gallbladder 😞added more magnesium to my diet and magnesium and d3 k2 3:47 at bedtime. Now I’m sleeping much better.. I’ve only woke up twice in the middle of the night.. and I was able to fall back to sleep.. I definitely recommend it.. I haven’t been able to exercise because of the heart palpitations but I have been able to start 2 mile walks again.. sprouted pumpkin seeds from Costco.. avacado.. beans.. coconut water.. . Arugula..Olive oil from Israel... I also needed to fix my diet. I can’t thank you enough Dr Berg. God bless you
@@chaz9808magnesium is involved in dozens of enzymatic processes in our bodies it is absolutely going to make a difference in anyone’s life if they decide to try it. Every single person I’ve recommended magnesium and coconut water to has experienced great relief from a wide variety of symptoms including restless legs, cramps, anxiety and sleep issues. Magnesium is beneficial at combatting stress so that in itself is going to aid sleep as stress is a huge contributor to sleep disorders
I'm a big proponent of magnesium for stress and anxiety and tinnitus as I am autistic and suffer from ptsd and have anxiety issues and tinnitus. But I have never felt magnesium helps me sleep, and while I was working, I had to stay up late until I was tired enough to sleep, even though I took 1000mg of magnesium per day and smoked marijuana. Also, trying to eat a lot of green veggies to get high levels of magnesium can cause thickening of the blood. My wife has this issue because her culture eats a lot of greens and her blood is so thick she has circulation problems and physical exertion causes her chest pains quite often. Good info in this video that most don't know.
I'm watching this video after was up at 5am! I'm taking Magnesium and D3 for 2 weeks now and I noticed instead of having a more restful sleep, I wake up at 4-5am and I'm more aware than mid day! Thank you for explaining this, I'll stop it for a while see if it helps
I started taking Mag Bisglycinate with an Adrenal Supplement before bed and wow, what a difference! Total improvement in quality of sleep! The Mag actually makes me drowsy (in a good way).
I’ve been reading and watching so many experts about health since teenage that usually I don’t come across new info it becomes redundant sometimes but your 10 minute video I was surprised at the end learned many new things in such a short time. Thank you Dr for your simple but generous videos.
How come everyone seems to avoid Magnesium Salts (aka. Epsom salts)or Mg flakes (more potent) just add to the bath water. This is proven to be the most effective method of getting Mg into the body. The skin is the biggest gland we have. Optimal absorption. Or Mg Oil after a shower. The added benefit is that it can be applied locally to deal with cramps or muscle aches for example. A Professor of biology in Birmingham University did a study of a large sample group of people around 15-20 years ago. (Read it a Long time ago). He told them to bath in 100L water & 20% solution of Mg for 20 minutes every day for 7 days. He Measured their Mg levels before and after 1 week. On average they improved by about 33%. That’s BIG. Much better than the trace amounts usually obtained from supplements. Also, it’s raising the body Mg levels too. Not just the blood Mg levels. There’s a difference.
I agree i to think magnesium chloride oil and flakes are the best option and that al the other forms are over promoted and are a marketing thing. Not saying there not good but overated because the claims they out in them magnesium chloride also does. And the magnesium chloride is natural it’s also in the oceans so there for i think most bio available to our bodies. The other ones need to be produced in a lab
2020 goes down in history as a screwy event! revealing in many ways... 4 years later ppl are STILL wearing the muzzle, even when they're alone 🙄. And a couple 'tween kids are STILL wearing their face diapers @ school 😒
It definitely caused me to hibernate more and was harder to make myself socialize after it ended. My insomnia was definitely fueled by the pandemic and then I got stuck with sleep anxiety.
I had recurring wicked painful leg cramps/charlie horse two nights ago. Never had them this bad, literally screaming from the pain. Walk everyday, healthy diet, healthy weight. I can't think of anything. I've increased my fluids in case it's dehydration. Thinking of trying the Mg glycinate.
I had those last summer...mag glycinate and green salads eliminated those. Sometimes I just have a mild cramp during the day. I use spinach and pumpkin seeds in chocolate peanut butter banana smoothies too. And 1 or 2 dark chocolate squares daily! I only take 1 supplement.
I have zero problem falling asleep when I go to bed but about 2 hrs later I wake up and my entire body feels tense and the opposite of relaxed. It went from a few times a year to now almost every night. I’m at a loss on what to do. I’m healthy, fit and get tons on sunlight.
This is why I'm a gardener. I'm outside a lot and growing the greens i need. Found some seeds for a Styrian Hull-less pumpkin that grows seeds without the hull on them.
Hello, I love your channel. I take magnesium at night to stop myself from having terrible cramps in my legs. And it has helped me enormously. I am not waking up in the middle of the night trying not to scream because the pain was😮 so excruciating in my toes and my feet my thighs. I have it because of chemo. I’m been finished with it for several years but cramping is something I have because of the chemo and I have neuropathy in my toes. I really appreciate everything you do for us. Thank you.
I never useto struggle with falling asleep. Now i do a little more. In my 40s now, stress, cancer treatment etc. I started using cbd with melatonin and Chamomile. It helps! I fall asleep and stay asleep with occasional waking up to use restroom. Thank you Dr. Berg
On behalf of each and everyone of these lovely people that watch and listen to you Dr Berg, I would like to thank you for all your resarch and sharing of information. You have helped me several times when the medical profession has failed. Someone I love suffers with poor sleep, anxiety, stress, depression, ocd, mucular pain, Tourette's syndrome and now been diagnosed with bicuspid aorta. Doctors and Specialists have had this young man on 12 meds a day for many years and he is no better, infact some days are so miserable for him. Treating the symptom and not the cause and im sure these prescription meds are doing more damage than good. I'll be researching the information you provide, to help this young man to alleviate some of his issues, he doesn't deserve to be suffering. So grateful I found you Dr Berg and keep up the good work.
Well done, again, Dr. Berg! My wife and I will now add D(andK) into our pre-bedtime stack. We are both usually sound asleep in 10 minutes or less after lights out. Our stack is 3k mg of glycine in water, Mg L-threonate, Inositol, and sometimes we'll do a Kava tea (my wife get wired about 2 days before a full moon...like clockwork).
Very interesting & intelligent OBSERVATION: It did call my attention.... since I've been RESEARCHING on how Harmful Melatonin could do . It was a really good Question about when Dr.Berg had Recommended "Melatonin"??
It also depends on what effects you are wanting help with, since becoming pregnant I'm dealing with constipation, glycinate doesn't help but citrate does by drawing water to the colon.
well the thing is parasympathetic nervous is an autonomous uncontrollable system, so magnesium as a relaxant will help here as it is relaxing the muscles
Thank you Dr. BERG 🥰 I found UR videos and have lost 120lbs in 3yrs! B1 has helped me with Anxiety + Magnesium has helped my sleep 🙏🏻 walks in nature also 😎👍🏻🏆
Hey! Dr. Berg is amazed by your success. Can we share your story and a before & after photo on our website? www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story -Dr. Berg's Support Team.
Im in the UK . We get VERY LITTLE sun even in summer these past few years. It's behind the almost permanent cloud layer which seems to be doubly thick some days.
I agree, and I guess you are aware of why that is? In the past few years, one person sent in a FoI request to the relative government departments, asking if geoengineering (spraying of our atmosphere with metals and chemicals to control weather) was taking place, and was just fobbed off. Being so bad now, it can hardly be denied.
مرحبا دكتور انا من متابعاتك الوفية ارجوك دكتور اخبرنا كيف نستطيع ان نبني جدار القولون وإعادة بناءه من جديد وتجنب نقص امتصاص المغذيات لانني اعاني من مرض حرب المناعة الذاتية واخبرنا كيف نقضي تماما على المرض طبيعيا شكرا 🙏
I’ve been following you for a few years now and have greatly improved my health. Also, my wife and I love your products, especially the electro lights and purified bile salts. Thank you Dr. Berg from Canada 🇨🇦 👏🏽
I have always had an extreme reaction to magnesium when I’ve taken it as a supplement and haven’t been able to find out why. Magnesium is meant to relax you, but it just about knocks me out. I can barely walk, I will just randomly fall asleep when I’m sitting down etc. Even an Epsom salt bath makes my legs feel like jelly. I did a different supplement one time that I didn’t notice contained magnesium and I had the same reaction. I’d love to know why this happens 🤷♀️
yes its almost like bad health is being promoted by the pharmacy. i shopped for some magnesium the other day and almost every bottle was the citrate thecrest were in oxide for, even those that show glycinate on the front of bottle were not it seem when reading the actual ingredients.
I am Magnesium deficient, I was studied. I am also taking Vitamin D3 with the Magnesium. My circadian rhythm gives me 3 hours of sleep. No matter what time I fall asleep exactly three hours later I wake up. I am fully awake and feel quite refreshed. when I'm at work I'm on my feet all day and I'm walking about 8 to 10 miles a day. I'm walking close to 30,000 steps. I have a fitnes meter I wear at work to monitor.
I have had sleeping issues in the past...I now take before bed..mag. glycinate, melatonin, and either ashwaghanda and or Lemon Balm.....I think Lemon balm is more potent for a sleep aid than ashwaghanda but I love them both...I generally, sleep better now....In order for me to sleep even better I would have to get rid of my cat..lol
I like to have avocado and 3 boiled eggs in the morning. I would like to be sure I am getting my B1 sources from the eggs, but I also like coffee in the morning as well. In addition, I like to take my Vit K2 w/ D3 with my breakfast. Should I have my coffee before or after breakfast?
@@giapata it can be taken anytime as long as it is with some fat. It is fat soluble. Some people feel better taking it in the morning, others at night.
For excersise, I found working out one day, and then resting the next day and then repeating worked really well. Don't work out right before bed either. Best between lunch and dinner if possible.
I have both issues. I have a very difficult time falling asleep and then cannot stay asleep when I do. I've been a legitimate insomniac for 35 years. I literally drag myself through each day. I live in a fog in regards to focus and decision making. I have chronic headaches and all sorts of serious health issues. Thyroid, heart, kidneys, TMI. At 58 I have simply given up on ever really feeling rested and refreshed.
I feel your pain. I have insomnia for the last 5 years and it has stolen my life. It's so horrible I can't imagine having it for 35 years omg. I assume you have tried everything? I think the most important part is therapy. There's a lot of work needed mentally to overcome this horrible situation.
Holy cow!! You just described me to a tee!! I rarely ever sleep more than 3-4 hours without waking up and feeling more awake than I do during the day when I'm awake!! I tried magnesium but I feel like a sluggish zombie the entire next day so never take that anyway. But I eat TONS of foods high in magnesium (raw cacao, pumpkin seeds, huge salads, etc.) and never have an issue. I've even had hard physical jobs where I was so beat I could hardly stand when I got home. Nope, still wake up after a couple of hours. Do high intense cardio but then I'm all jacked up and can't get to sleep for a long time, and STILL wake up after a couple of hours. Great video!! Some great comment in the comment section as well. Maybe I'll find some help here 🙂
Dr Berg notes:
Sometimes, low magnesium is not the cause of your anxiety or sleep problems, and taking it can even worsen your symptoms.
The second part of sleep is called REM sleep. People with higher levels of adrenaline and cortisol tend to wake up around 2:00 am during REM sleep. Magnesium will not fix this problem because the high cortisol levels are not caused by low magnesium.
Stress and lack of exercise can cause poor sleep. Exercise, long walks, and physical labor can reduce stress and improve sleep.
If you find that you have difficulty getting to sleep because of racing thoughts and overthinking, you may be low in vitamin B1. Carbs, sugar, and caffeine can deplete vitamin B1. Taking B1 before bed can provide an immediate sense of calmness. Always choose a natural B1 supplement, not synthetic.
Instead of taking a melatonin supplement, it can be more beneficial to address why you do not have enough melatonin in the first place. Melatonin is inhibited by blue light. Darkness and infrared light recharge melatonin, so try getting sunlight or sitting by a fire.
Vitamin D before bed can help you sleep. Magnesium will not work if you're very low in vitamin D and vice versa.
If you're new to fasting and you go to bed hungry, it can interfere with your sleep. If fasting triggered your sleep problem, scale back, and begin fasting more gradually over time. Try incorporating more carbs at your last meal and increasing your carb intake to 50 grams per day.
Having plenty of sea salt on keto and intermittent fasting is vital. Salt causes your body to retain fluid, so not only will it help you sleep, but it can also help prevent waking to use the bathroom.
If you do need magnesium, try taking magnesium glycinate to help support sleep and reduce anxiety.

I’m learning that
absolute golden advice here
I can cofirm
I was advised to take magnesium for leg cramps which I have suffered from for years, it’s transformed my life no more cramps
Which magnesium do you take ?
If I have restless legs or cramping I drink a shot of diluted apple cider vinegar. (1 part acv to 2 parts water) Then I sleep like a baby.
My leg cramps are gone after taking Magnesium Glycinate😍I also take D3K2.Thanks Dr.Berg.God bless you!🙌😇
Good luck
I just want to put it out there that I think potassium is important too when it comes to cramps and it should be balanced out with the magnesium.
I literally CRAVE sunlight. Morning walks with the dogs at the park, sitting in the sun, working in the sun, basking in front of my fireplace in the winter. It feels like a hug from God
You’re the lucky one - I wondered who it is!
Pray and watch. So on point. Thanks for sharing.
Amen 😊

Exactly my case. A lot of daily stress, no coffee, despite cannot fall asleep, finally fall asleep at 2AM and 3 hours later I am awake and feel energetic. Cannot sleep for 2 hours, finally fall asleep at 7AM. Have to wake up at 9 and feel like a zombie. This video explains very precisely how to handle this.

As someone who has suffered from terrible anxiety and insomnia, I can tell you a little coffee is not the culprit. It's sugar and carbs. Especially late in the day. I drink one cup coffee every morning and have no problems sleeping. It was all the processed crap.
That’s also my sleep pattern 🥺
Same here, bed at 2, wake at 5 am. I gotta say, circadian rhythm is key. I sleep so good in Winter, worse in Summer. It's a pattern. Also, the season light exposure changes yet we adhere to a 9 to 5 or 6 a to 5 pm schedule. What happens is in the summer, the melatonin must be too low and the extra long daylight hours cause late bed time being shifted ahead. In winter, I could fall asleep at 8 pm, 9 pm. In Summer, it feels like I could go to sleep at 2 am 3 am. We're not living like animals..they get up and go to bed with the sun. Humans have it bad.
Note that ADhD causes dopamine dysregulation - we need dopamine in the morning to remove the melatonin and wake up optimally.
this is exactlY my story. What worked for you ? please reply!!!!!
I started taking a magnesium complex a Potassium supplement and a D3 before sleep and Im finally able to fall asleep fast and sleep most of the night! I also started taking Bioavailable vitamin B complex.
What brand of potassium pill do you take?
where did you get it from?
Dr Berg. You answered SO many of my magnesium /cortisol and fasting questions/ issues. I’d never get this info from doctor elsewhere. You are one in a million. Keep it up.
Drs even don't talk about supplements. They just talked about medication 😅
I love you for this one! This answers the other issue! The first is the nutrition. I slept all night last night because I didn't take Vitamin D before bed. I took Vitamin B1. I slept all night. I am so happy and I feel rejuvenated. I am so grateful!
Did you take Vit B1 before u went to bed
Wait, you took B1 at night or the morning? I was under the impression that you should take it in the morning because it gives you energy
VitD is energizing
Take at breakfast
So, just to be clear, dear qweenlyco, you took B1 before you went to bed. Is that correct?
@@sandybeach5253 stopped the Vitamin D3 before bed. I added B1 and when I slept, I did not wake up at all. Hasn't happened in a long while. I also slept soundly without pain when I woke up. Less sinus pressure so I am looking forward to what happens tomorrow when I wake up.
My phone is definitely listening to me because I was just having a random conversation about magnesium and this popped up as one of the top videos…
And or we’re just living in a simulation, every “decision” we’ve ever made has been predetermined.
Yes it happens to me all the time it's so weird
Absolutely.
Another way of looking at it is that its God; knowing what you need and sending it your way.
@@Shab_rules no i think it’s literally our phones listening to us but that’s a much more comforting perspective haha
The fact that we get free medical videos from Dr Berg on TH-cam is priceless.., keeping the education and knowledge alive. 👍

I totally agree with this!! I was taking it and it made me wake up with shaking with anxiety in the middle of the night.
Magnesium kept you up?
@@allisonheadley2620 yes, it sure did! I didn’t need more so my body reacted the opposite way.
Did it make you angry ?
Mg glycinate did the same to me it kept me up with hedious insomnia
Magnesium makes me very nauseous if not taken with food so I can t take it at night if I don't take Zofran and I can't take Zofran in a dose high enough to help that bc it makes me restless which defeats the purpose.
I had restless leg syndrome for about 3 weeks. I was doing keto, fasting, exercising, taking magnesium and b1 and nothing was working. Eventually I took a chance and got an iron supplement as I suffer from heavy menstrual cycle. It worked in 3 days and I could finally fall asleep and stay asleep again.
Luv u Karen ❤😘

Dr. Berg, I started taking Mag-G a couple of years ago for night leg cramps, and it immediately took away my cramps. I easily fall asleep early, yet wake up between 2-3AM. Part of that was my guys snoring (he would fall asleep in the living room and come to bed at that time and wake me up) I recently started working out of the home and BOOM overnight my sleep schedule went back to normal and I'm sleeping all night until the alarm goes off. We both started Keto as well. We both notice we feel amazing while we're shredding weight. I take (1) 650 Mag-G daily, and that's all I need. The bottle says you can take (3) I started out at the lowest dose. There is no sense in taking too much if you can achieve your goal from (1) pill 😊 also, I don't have constipation ever. Mag-G is amazing, and it nearly worked overnight for me.
Does magnesium glycinate help with constipation? Or is it magnesium citrate?
@@simygandhi4470 citrate.

I bought magnesium from Walmart. I was eating healthy and working out daily, after giving up caffeine, sugar, breads & cereals, and carbonated drinks. Consistently lost 1 or 2 lbs a week, but still had a gut that wouldn't decrease. When I found out that all 6 vitamins I was taking had cellulose. And the magnesium even contained talc they all went to trashcan and my gut shrank as fast as my energy increased.
Wow great info! China makes Alot of their vitamins
Talc??? That's terrible!
Theres a lot of foods that has cellulose in it. Carbonated drinks are not bad for you either (obviously no sugar). Caffeine isn't bad for you, eat sourdough (natural ingredients) if you want some bread. Enjoy the health journey and congrats on the weight loss!
Whole food vitamins/supplements are the best 😊 the vitamins/supplements sold through practitioner's are not sourced from China and do not use garbage fillers, yes they may cost more but it's worth it to me because they truly do work! Over the counter vitamins/supplements can do more harm than good.
@@allison471 Cool, ill check into them, thanks Allison.
Magnesium is also high in sunflower seeds. In fact, I found out I was deficient in magnesium when I had a headache, and ate some sunflower seeds then observed that my headache went away. I began supplementing magnesium, and I stopped getting headaches related to cervical degenerative disc disease.
New favorite word - Carbage. I too have cervical degenerative disc disease, Osteoarthritis, and Psoriatic Arthritis - sad how we get used to living in pain. I've taken Life Extension Mag-Threonate, and a cheaper Mag-Glycinate - still wake up at 2 am every night.
I was taking Magnesium in the morning, not bedtime - perhaps that was the problem.
@@Lola-tq8nv Thanks for the kind response. I hope taking magnesium glycinate and threonate before bed helps. Magnesium has changed my life. Best wishes!
PS: You may also want to look into ashwagandha, benfotiamine, and (organic unfortified) nutritional yeast. I also take those. I believe ashwagandha has helped with inflammation overall, and that benfotiamine has helped with neuropathy. While I have no sense about the nutritional yeast, it's supposed to also help with nerve issues.
Wow, that''s why I crave sunflower seeds. I hate the ones that are roasted and are full of oil and salt. So I buy the ones in the shell. It's more like a snack, I guess.
Magnesium glycinate has been a godsend for me. I feel very tired within an hour of taking it and have been sleeping so well!
How many mg do you take nightly?
It takes 15 minutes for me to work then i feel im in a coma lol . I love it and i only take 200mg .😅
Where can I purchase the glycinate form of magnesium please ? I so need help as I just cannot sleep at nights. Thank you.

Anxiety often comes from within. Our constant worries about the past and the future taking over our mind and filling us with a narrative we blow out of all proportions. Its best in my opinion to heal this from within. Remember there IS only now. Remember when you are laying in bed warm and cosy that nothing bad is happening at that moment. Its also worth noting that our fears are not likely to happen either! The best thing about it is that its not something you have to achieve. Its inside you right now. Conciousness is the key
My anxiety, restless legs, muscle pain, poor concentration and lack of quality sleep ended with magnesium glycinate supplement. Also taking vit D3
@SJ-yg1bh I'm glad you have found your calm. It's a tough world and all.the moreso when we struggle with anxiety
magnesium glycinate has been a game changer for me. I felt so much better the minute I took a capsule. i get a great night's sleep and feel calmer during the day. also, I fast from around 7 pm until noon or 1 pm each day. i take one capsule in the morning and one about an hour before going to sleep. lastly, i walk each day in the evening for about an hour.
Same 🎉 month now
Which one do you buy?
Make sure it's magnesium glycinate and not the other magnesium. Since I bought the glycinate type sleep is much improved. Will add the B1
I agree glycinate works well for me for my sleep. I was taking the citrate form and I was awake the entire night so I started taking glycinate and now sleep so much better.
There are MANY forms of magnesium, all depends what you’re looking for.
I found any type helps me, otherwise I'm up in the middle of the night if I can even get to sleep. Lately I've been using occasionally using melatonin to just get to sleep and magnesium with it to stay asleep. With that I'm getting 7hrs and well balanced Light/REM/Deep, according to my watch. Without I just get 90% light sleep and maybe a sliver of REM if any and I wake up tired.
I've not tried glycinate yet, but that's on my todo.
For anyone who took calm...they changed their mag from the kind we all needed to the make ya poop kind!! No wonder whyour 16 yr old stopped being so mellow and started with random poop issues lol
I first started with the citrate during the day since it gave me energy but when that stopped I started taking it at night and It’s helped so much with my sleep and now I wake up with energy instead of feeling exhausted and tired I love it
Ok Dr. Berg. Excellent video. I have a different situation when it comes to sleep. I don't go to bed until around 1.30 am. The reason for this is because I'm in the Music Business and I work on stage. Sometimes I'm just getting home at 4am or later! If I'm not gigging, my body clock stays up until the early hours. Usually I don't have a lot of difficulty going to sleep, but once I wake up my brain goes into overdrive and very often I'm awake for a couple of hours! Not always, thank goodness. Anyway, to get to the point I found this video very interesting. I have now purchased Magnesium Glycinate 2,400 mg (2 tablets per night) and also stronger Vitamin D. I think they are working a little bit but I have only just started taking them, so time will tell. They were as you ponted out far more expensive but they will be worth it. I have every faith in your diagnosis. Thank you again.
For me, someone who suffers chronically with poor sleep due to what I suspect to be a high cortisol situation, the combination of magnesium glycinate and calcium Lactate works like a charm. Not too much mag though. Even a little too much and I don't sleep. I have a theory that it can upset the balance of potassium, which causes one to not be able to relax. Doing mundane tasks like knitting and sewing really helps me with stress. I have CFS and can't exercise atm.
*Recently I discovered just how low I am in magnesium. There were some issues with blood pressure medication, so had to discontinue it for a while. I suffer from anxiety and have a hard time sleeping too. So, after watching many Dr Berg videos on magnesium, i tried magnesium glycinate in the am and magnesium l-threonate in the evening. The surprise was that my blood pressure is now normal :
115-128/70-76; heart rate also fell from about 82 to 72 bpm. Falling asleep is easy now too, Of course the magnesium dosage will have to be adjusted later as needed. With Dr. Berg sharing so much info and research I now understand how "knowledge is power"! 😊
It’s hardly surprising we get confused too much conflicting information these days.
Well, it’s really a balancing act. Everybody has a different constitution, different life experiences, traumas, etc. everything is multifactorial si there is no one rule for everyone. I believe Dr Berg is giving us general suggestions and guidance. We need to listen to our own bodies and Experiment. I guess we can say that we are our own Guinea pigs.
Do a video on the importance of having adequate potassium levels before you add magnesium. It's crucial. Potassium levels are also very important for sleep
and Heart
You do one.
@stern4141 Dr Berg is far more qualified than me to do this and has a massive audience who would benefit from the information. I found out by accident how important it was and it changed my health. My comment was to hopefully get Dr Berg to put out that info too. Your comment seemed to have another purpose entirely. Hope your OK

I want to thank you so much for your content and sense of humor because I always go back and listen to your videos to help me with our crazy lifestyle here at home.

I take magnesium malate before bed and have done it for years now, not only to aid sleep but to relieve nerve pain in my foot. This has definitely worked for me.

I'm a big proponent of magnesium for stress and anxiety and tinnitus as I am autistic and suffer from ptsd and have anxiety issues and tinnitus. But I have never felt magnesium helps me sleep, and while I was working, I had to stay up late until I was tired enough to sleep, even though I took 1000mg of magnesium per day and smoked marijuana. Also, trying to eat a lot of green veggies to get high levels of magnesium can cause thickening of the blood. My wife has this issue because her culture eats a lot of greens and her blood is so thick she has circulation problems and physical exertion causes her chest pains quite often.

How come everyone seems to avoid Magnesium Salts (aka. Epsom salts)or
Mg flakes (more potent) just add to the bath water. This is proven to be the most effective method of getting Mg into the body. The skin is the biggest gland we have. Optimal absorption. Or Mg Oil after a shower.
The added benefit is that it can be applied locally to deal with cramps or muscle aches for example.
A Professor of biology in Birmingham University did a study of a large sample group of people around 15-20 years ago. (Read it a Long time ago). He told them to bath in 100L water & 20% solution of Mg for 20 minutes every day for 7 days.
He Measured their Mg levels before and after 1 week.
On average they improved by about 33%. That’s BIG.
Much better than the trace amounts usually obtained from supplements.
Also, it’s raising the body Mg levels too. Not just the blood Mg levels. There’s a difference.
Amazing!
I agree i to think magnesium chloride oil and flakes are the best option and that al the other forms are over promoted and are a marketing thing. Not saying there not good but overated because the claims they out in them magnesium chloride also does. And the magnesium chloride is natural it’s also in the oceans so there for i think most bio available to our bodies. The other ones need to be produced in a lab

hi Doc. hope this message meets you well. a couple years ago, you were advocating Melatonin; especially as an antioxidant. so what is it Doc?
Very interesting & intelligent OBSERVATION: It did call my attention.... since I've been RESEARCHING on how Harmful Melatonin could do .
It was a really good Question about when Dr.Berg had Recommended "Melatonin"??
It also depends on what effects you are wanting help with, since becoming pregnant I'm dealing with constipation, glycinate doesn't help but citrate does by drawing water to the colon.
same as magnesium oxide, good for constipation
well the thing is parasympathetic nervous is an autonomous uncontrollable system, so magnesium as a relaxant will help here as it is relaxing the muscles

I have always had an extreme reaction to magnesium when I’ve taken it as a supplement and haven’t been able to find out why. Magnesium is meant to relax you, but it just about knocks me out. I can barely walk, I will just randomly fall asleep when I’m sitting down etc. Even an Epsom salt bath makes my legs feel like jelly. I did a different supplement one time that I didn’t notice contained magnesium and I had the same reaction. I’d love to know why this happens 🤷♀️
Its sad that most people are unware that they are buying the low quality magnesium oxide rather than glycinate
yes its almost like bad health is being promoted by the pharmacy. i shopped for some magnesium the other day and almost every bottle was the citrate thecrest were in oxide for, even those that show glycinate on the front of bottle were not it seem when reading the actual ingredients.
I take the brand pure magnesium glycinate it’s worked wonders for me with my vitamin D plus K2
@@jlappin6277 i take doctors best magnesium glycinate tablets 3 daily
where do you get pure magnesium glycine, and how many mg
@@asue6488 i take take doctors best magnesium glycinate. For deficiency 800mg daily. For mantainance 400mg daily.
I am Magnesium deficient, I was studied. I am also taking Vitamin D3 with the Magnesium. My circadian rhythm gives me 3 hours of sleep. No matter what time I fall asleep exactly three hours later I wake up. I am fully awake and feel quite refreshed. when I'm at work I'm on my feet all day and I'm walking about 8 to 10 miles a day. I'm walking close to 30,000 steps. I have a fitnes meter I wear at work to monitor.
Do I sleep two three hr cycles?
I have had sleeping issues in the past...I now take before bed..mag. glycinate, melatonin, and either ashwaghanda and or Lemon Balm.....I think Lemon balm is more potent for a sleep aid than ashwaghanda but I love them both...I generally, sleep better now....In order for me to sleep even better I would have to get rid of my cat..lol
Nooo not the cat lol
I like to have avocado and 3 boiled eggs in the morning. I would like to be sure I am getting my B1 sources from the eggs, but I also like coffee in the morning as well. In addition, I like to take my Vit K2 w/ D3 with my breakfast. Should I have my coffee before or after breakfast?
Vitamin d before bed keeps me awake. In a bad way. But morning or afternoon helps my sleep. I take it with lunch, K and magnesium glycinate.
It should be taken in the morning as far as I know
@@giapata it can be taken anytime as long as it is with some fat. It is fat soluble. Some people feel better taking it in the morning, others at night.
For excersise, I found working out one day, and then resting the next day and then repeating worked really well. Don't work out right before bed either. Best between lunch and dinner if possible.
I have both issues. I have a very difficult time falling asleep and then cannot stay asleep when I do. I've been a legitimate insomniac for 35 years. I literally drag myself through each day. I live in a fog in regards to focus and decision making. I have chronic headaches and all sorts of serious health issues. Thyroid, heart, kidneys, TMI. At 58 I have simply given up on ever really feeling rested and refreshed.
You are still young and have a lot of living to do, stay hopeful.
Take the B1 and the magnesium honey. Also a banana every night
I feel your pain. I have insomnia for the last 5 years and it has stolen my life. It's so horrible I can't imagine having it for 35 years omg. I assume you have tried everything? I think the most important part is therapy. There's a lot of work needed mentally to overcome this horrible situation.
I’ve been having the same issue for decades…3 to 4 hours of sleep if any…😢
I just love Dr Berg's dry humour..it always pops out of nowhere at the right moment...and continue like it was part of the topic
Thank you Doc, excellent video. Blessings.
Holy cow!! You just described me to a tee!! I rarely ever sleep more than 3-4 hours without waking up and feeling more awake than I do during the day when I'm awake!! I tried magnesium but I feel like a sluggish zombie the entire next day so never take that anyway. But I eat TONS of foods high in magnesium (raw cacao, pumpkin seeds, huge salads, etc.) and never have an issue.
I've even had hard physical jobs where I was so beat I could hardly stand when I got home. Nope, still wake up after a couple of hours. Do high intense cardio but then I'm all jacked up and can't get to sleep for a long time, and STILL wake up after a couple of hours.
Great video!! Some great comment in the comment section as well. Maybe I'll find some help here 🙂
