There is increasing interest in melatonin and magnesium supplements for insomnia and sleep disturbances. But health experts say that these are not equally useful for everyone. While melatonin is associated with the body's sleep-wake cycle, magnesium can aid in relaxation and muscle relaxation.

Rather than starting supplements yourself, it is important to identify what is causing the sleep problem. Experts suggest lifestyle changes such as regular bedtimes, reduced screen use, and limiting caffeine in the evening should be tried first. A doctor should be consulted in case of chronic problems.
