It's funny you talk about treating the root cause, and take magnesium, instead of addressing the workplace stress factor.

I get what you’re saying, but I think it’s fair to view it as equivalent to drinking a protein shake after a workout. You used the resources in a productive and healthy way, now you need to replenish them.

sure if you're just taking it as a dietary supplement, but clearly OP is using it as a form of sleeping pill. which is also fine but just seems like mental gymnastics.

The magnesium deficiency would probably still exist if you removed the stressful job. Unfortunately switching jobs or careers is not an option in this current job market.

You are absolutely right about that. It is important to reduce stress. Insomnia is only one of the ways excessive stress shows up.

Stress pays my mortgage unfortunately, and I don’t have a way to make money otherwise because all the jobs in my profession of over a decade are stressful.
