Magnesium recommended for sleep?

Hi

I am thinking of introducing magnesium to help with my intermittent insomnia (no doubt hypo related)...

Wondering if anyone recommends and whether cream is better than sprays or tablets.

Many thanks in advance

I take magnesium glycinate, as it’s easy on the stomach. It helps me relax and improved sleep (if I take it regularly early evening) However, there are many others to try. greygoose is very knowledgeable re magnesium & has some useful links, so I’d await her response & research the different options.

Apologies- I read a post 3 days ago by Fenioux re magnesium. I knew you had commented, but you are right it was SeasideSusie who offered the magnesium links/ advice!
