Has your GP checked your electrolytes ? I had insomnia for 30 years. Couldn't find any fix, and I tried everything but prescribed drugs. (Addiction issues in my family.)

Fixed my insomnia on accident. Tried the 4HB diet. The supplements advice did it for me. Magnesium, calcium, and potassium. Overnight fix. Turns out, the culprit was my poor diet. Now, I only have trouble sleeping if I try to sleep less than 12 hours after waking. Best of luck.

No, but I will inquire about it, thanks for the tip.

I have taken magnesium supplements and multivitamins before (I do quite a bit of exercise), and many dietary permutations.

I do notice my insomnia becomes worse on a caloric deficit so it might be accentuated by nutrition, but I doubt it's the only cause.

Even if you eat healthy, magnesium is a good way to help you fall asleep.
