NCT ID NCT07359612
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether taking 250 mg of magnesium daily for 8 weeks can improve sleep quality in healthy adults aged 18–39 who have low magnesium levels and feel they sleep poorly. Researchers will measure sleep using activity trackers and sleep diaries, along with mood and diet questionnaires. The goal is to see if magnesium helps general sleep health, not just insomnia.
