But remember, Magnesium is not a miracle pill ok? It is just one of the many supplements out there that can help you sleep better, and sometimes there are other changes or supplements that might suit you more.

Our bodies work best when we sleep during darkness and wake up to daylight. Remember this, sunlight is not just for waking up, it helps regulate your hormones, metabolism, mood, and even vitamin D levels. Missing out on natural light can affect both your physical and mental health over time.
Long story short, even if you feel fine now, a 3 am sleep schedule is not something I would recommend in the long run.
