Magnesium truly does wonders for my sleep but every single person I’ve recommended it to has not had similar results. Like many things I’m sure there’s a significant difference depending on your biochemistry.

...and placebo effect.

Practically speaking, it doesn't matter how much the effects are mediated by the placebo response; whatever helps you sleep at night.
ESPECIALLY for something that's so delicate as sleep.
What were your initial sleep issues and how does MG help? Also, do you take it right before bed or is it something that just builds up in increasing effectiveness after taking it daily for weeks / months?
