Q: What's a good natural sleep supplement to start with?
A: Magnesium glycinate is widely recommended as a first step — it is associated with supporting normal muscle relaxation and normal sleep, and is well-tolerated by most people.
Q: Is melatonin suitable for everyone?
A: Melatonin is most commonly used for circadian rhythm disruption — jetlag, shift work, or irregular schedules. It is not typically the first choice for general sleep support.
Q: Why might someone feel tired during the day but struggle to sleep at night?
A: This pattern is sometimes associated with elevated evening cortisol. Adaptogenic herbs and good sleep hygiene habits can both support a more normal sleep-wake rhythm.
