"Expert: Melatonin Outperforms Magnesium as Sleep Aid, but No Cure-All"

Sleep expert Shelby Harris suggests that while both melatonin and magnesium supplements are popular for improving sleep, melatonin is more likely to help with sleep than magnesium. However, experts recommend getting these substances from foods rather than supplements. Developing good sleep hygiene, such as maintaining a consistent sleep schedule and avoiding electronic devices before bed, is crucial for better sleep. Foods rich in melatonin include nuts, salmon, and eggs, while natural sources of magnesium include spinach, almonds, and yogurt.
