~325mg of Magnesium carbonate before bed has tripled my average “deep sleep” as measured by the Apple Watch from ~15 mins to ~45 mins.

Feels good to get a bunch of deep sleep! Has me asking “Is there too much? If REM more important for memory formation, should I also be watching out for that?” But by comparison it’s like the rarest kind, so I figure it’s ok to optimize a bit for.

IDK if there’s much difference, but Magnesium Bisglycinate had a similarly strong effect on my deep sleep.

Haven’t been monitoring it closely, so no.

Been thinking about doing something similar. Noticed and change in your blood pressure from the added sodium?

how are the mornings treating you, any noticeable difference during the day etc?

That's wild! My deep sleep, when measured with a consumer EEG back in the day, was not great. It mostly occurs in the first hours of sleep. Getting to bed before midnite got me the most deep sleep time.

how are your dreams? mine have been intense

Been doing a similar dosage for a month, but my deep sleep duration tends to fluctuate. How long have you been measuring?

How much to sleep forever?
