I also take Magnesium and swear by it. I also suspect I have some underlying kidney issues retaining many electrolytes and started taking a potassium with the magnesium at bedtime and it has transformed my sleep into baby-land. I sleep so hard now and when I wake up, I have no problem getting right back to sleep. I feel so refreshed the next day it is honestly shocking to me. I have always said that before I started taking both that I felt like I was on a one-way track to dementia. That is just how I felt. Very anecdotal, but I believe it in my bones.

How much of each are you taking? Are you taking any blood pressure medications?

No blood pressure meds.
I take about 150MG of magnesium and 100mg of potassium before bed. The magnesium is Chloride, but in liquid form and causes no laxative effect (but tastes terrible!). It is a product called ReMag. I am sure other forms will work just as well. The potassium is Gluconate as it is PH neutral. Potassium Citrate and Chloride would work just as well. I just get the Gluconate from Walmart as it is cheap and effective.
