The Natural Remedy That Helped Me Sleep Again.

For most of my life, I had no trouble sleeping. No trouble falling to sleep and no trouble sleeping through the night. I’m not bragging, I’m just stating a truth, so stop calling me names if you’re jealous. πŸ˜‰

A Life-changing Accident

A couple years ago I wrecked my knee skiing. I completely tore my ACL and my MCL was hanging on by a thread. My nights of restful sleep ended that very day.

It was a couple months before I had surgery to replace both. Pain and discomfort kept me from sleeping soundly for a long time. Even after the discomfort had eased enough that it no longer bothered me, I couldn’t sleep through the night. I fell to sleep fine, but woke during the night – sometimes quite a few times.

New reasons for not sleeping? Arghhh!

I mentioned my sleep problems to my sister, a functional dietician. She thought it might have to do with the aging process and being perimenopausal (ouch). I was bummed. The thought of not sleeping through the night ever again was very depressing.

The Quest For an Effective Natural Sleep Aid

Don't waste money on sleep supplements that don't work.

As you can imagine, there was no way I was getting a prescription to help me sleep, so I looked into other, natural options. I started taking a good magnesium powder supplement almost every day. It didn’t seem to help with my sleep, but, since over 75% of the American population is magnesium deficient, and I noticed it was helping in another way, I kept taking it.

While many people have good luck with melatonin supplements, they didn’t help me sleep. Neither did lavender tea or valerian root caps. I thought I was getting used to not sleeping through the night, and my quest had been fruitless. I eventually stopped looking for an effective natural sleep aid.

The Natural Remedy That Helps Me Sleep

And then, a few weeks ago, a happy accident occurred. We received a mangled bottle of Evening Magnesium from Smidge. I wasn’t spending the money to send it back and figured, what the heck, I’d give it a try. We couldn’t sell it and I like being my own test subject. Low and behold, I started sleeping through the night within a few days of starting to use it.

I had no idea how much I missed getting six hours of uninterrupted sleep.Magnesium for restful sleep.

Just one 100mg capsule 1/2 hour before bed is very effective for me on a regular basis. Smidge Evening Magnesium is an all natural, easily absorbed form called glycinate complex. It is a specific form of magnesium that helps you relax and sleep well, so you wake up refreshed. Unlike with many commercial sleep medicines, you won’t wake up feeling groggy and foggy-headed. It is also super clean – no fillers or flow agents, or additives of any kind.

These days, my daily magnesium supplement is Perfect Magnesium Powder and I find if I don’t get my magnesium drink in during the day, the Smidge Evening Magnesium doesn’t work as well, so I double up on it if I forget to drink my magnesium.
