Are you a shift worker struggling to get quality sleep? In this episode, we break down the key differences between melatonin and magnesium, helping you make an informed decision on which supplement can best support your sleep. While melatonin signals your body that it’s time to rest, it doesn't directly induce sleep, especially when exposed to light or screens. On the other hand, magnesium works by calming your nervous system and relaxing muscles, making it ideal for shift workers who need to unwind after a long day or night.
Additionally, we discuss the importance of creating a consistent sleep routine that aligns with your body’s natural rhythms, even with an unpredictable work schedule.
Key Takeaways:
- The role of melatonin vs. magnesium in improving sleep quality
- Why magnesium glycinate is the most effective form for better sleep
- Tips for building a sleep routine that works around your shift schedule
