I've heard that magnesium especially combined with calcium can help you sleep! So... I did a bit of research and found that this is true!

I quite often have trouble sleeping. Not so much falling asleep, but staying asleep! On a bad night I wake up about every hour. It's really quite frustrating! Especially when I know that sleep is a blessing from God! He wants us to rest and sleep!

Apparently magnesium helps induce sleep. A deficiency in magnesium can cause nervousness that obviously, makes it hard to sleep. Also, if you happen to wake up in the middle of the night with your leg in a painful cramp, magnesium could be the answer! So eat your bananas, almonds and cashews!

Calcium too, can aid in a better sleep, especially when contained in food. Sometimes before bed, I like to heat up a glass of milk and add a bit of honey and vanilla. Yum!

Now I guess I'll be off to take some calcium and magnesium!

Do you have any sleeping tricks that work for you?
