I've found that magnesium helps my sleep, particularly the cheaper forms. The more expensive chelated forms seem to do less for me.

The placebo effect is a real effect

Indeed, and I find my zinc/magnesium tablets an excellent way to induce it. I also find my 3000IU of vitamin D excellent in the other direction, for waking me up. Quite probably they’re both placebo, but it works, is safe in the amounts I take, and is cheap :)

hey homie!!! you know when I said, "hardly experimental," I meant non-controversial, right? I mean, you're not some risky, crazy quack, just a regular dude reviewing the well-known stuff that we should all know!
I hope you find a new venture in your Ikegai!!!!
First result: The effect of magnesium supplementation on primary insomnia in elderly: A double-blind placebo-controlled clinical trial.
CONCLUSION:
Supplementation of magnesium appears to improve subjective measures of insomnia such as ISI score, sleep efficiency, sleep time and sleep onset latency, early morning awakening, and likewise, insomnia objective measures such as concentration of serum renin, melatonin, and serum cortisol, in elderly people.
btw I was a fan of Steve Cronin's channel and of reddit's nootropics subreddit. Steve's stuff was hardly experimental. Lots of this stuff is heavily researched. Youtube probably has input from Big Pharma. What's next, eliminating smoothy and juicing videos? Vegan recipes? Will they let themselves become a perfect shady of the corporate lifestyle?
