> How much magnesium do you take Jlx? I take a calcium 1g, magnesium 500mg and zinc 25mg supplement, do you think this is enough? I hadn't considered that sugar may be causing me problems. I'll give it a try. Could you tell me how long I should avoid sugar rich foods before bedtime and are there any foods you recommend for promoting sleep?

People's need for magnesium, from my experience on this board, seem to vary as does the correct calcium to magnesium ratio.

1 gram of calcium would have ME a tearful, crazy, wreck. I have to take much more magnesium than calcium, or no calcium at all. I take magnesium taurate, magnesium malate, magnesium glycinate or magnesium orotate, approximately 300-600 per day. Usually I take no calcium unless I am in a "no dairy" mode.

Sugar keeps me awake especially if I eat something in the evening, but it depends somewhat on quantity and type. In general, I sleep better if I avoid it altogether.

To promote sleep, I think potatoes are one of the best things. Being starchy -- and eaten alone without protein -- they promote tryptophan/serotonin release into the brain. Eaten with the skin is best, as then the carb is released more slowly. I've also always liked a banana and some milk and even read somewhere why that was recommended, but don't recall.
