Magnesium and Sleep Deprivation

Sleep deprivation can deplete your body’s magnesium stores, decreasing your strength and exercise performance.

When you sleep poorly, the body produces extra catecholamine hormones to help you get through the day. This causes the excretion of magnesium via the kidneys, resulting in compromised exercise performance and low magnesium levels.
