Magnesium supplementation, particularly with types like magnesium glycinate and magnesium L-threonate, may improve sleep quality by calming the nervous system, relaxing muscles, reducing anxiety, alleviating restless leg syndrome, and regulating the circadian rhythm.

Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a neurological or sleep disorder that affects 7-10% of the US population. RLS can be treated by correcting underlying vitamin deficiencies, such as severe iron deficiency. Some research links a lack of vitamin D with RLS. Medications that increase dopamine in the brain, drugs affecting calcium channels, muscle relaxants and sleep medications, and opioids are some of the treatments for RLS. It's important to note that some medications can worsen symptoms of RLS.
