Sleep Series #1:
The Deep Sleep Game-Changer

Unlock Better Recovery with One Simple Supplement:

Magnesium Glycinate

Ever wonder why some nights you sleep 8 hours and wake up groggy, while other nights you get 5 hours and feel completely refreshed? The secret isn't just quantity—it's the quality of your deep sleep.

If you know me, then you know I’ve experimented with many nutritional supplements (not drugs or PEDs) and while I don’t want to be constantly pushing supplements, I only want to promote the few that I believe would actually be beneficial for you all.

That being said, what if I told you there was a supplement that improved how you felt every day that you’re likely lacking?

The Hidden Deficiency

Here's a startling fact: up to 2/3 of people are deficient in magnesium—yet most have no idea. And here's another wake-up call: the average person only gets 10-15% deep sleep per night, when they should be getting 20-25% for optimal recovery.

In simple math terms: odds are you’re getting half of the required deep sleep to feeling your best.

For the typical Gen Z or millennial corporate worker pulling 6-7 hour nights, that means you're likely getting just 45-60 minutes of deep sleep when your body needs 75-105 minutes to properly recover from your demanding days.

📊 STAT SPOTLIGHT
Imagine getting 30-45 minutes of extra deep sleep every night just by taking magnesium glycinate—and waking up feeling 10% better every single day.

The Magnesium Discovery

After tracking my sleep for months (with my Oura ring), I discovered something fascinating: Magnesium Glycinate dramatically improved my deep sleep quality. Here's what happened:

  • Before: Averaging 6-7 hours total sleep, only 1 hour of deep sleep (about 15%)

  • After: Same total sleep time, but 1.5 hours of deep sleep (closer to that optimal 20-25%)

  • The result: Even on nights with just 5 hours of sleep, if I got that crucial 1.5 hours of deep sleep, I felt 95% recovered

My Protocol

  • Dosage: 240mg daily (360mg on days I sweat heavily from outdoor activities)

  • Timing: 30 minutes before bed

  • Why it works: Magnesium Glycinate is the most bioavailable form and helps activate your parasympathetic nervous system, allowing your muscles and nerves to relax. It also supports your body in producing melatonin, helping establish your circadian rhythm.

The Bottom Line

Deep sleep is when your body does its most important work—repairing muscles, consolidating memories, and regulating hormones. By improving this one sleep stage, you're maximizing your recovery regardless of total sleep time.

Sleep Better → Feel Better → Perform Better

Magnesium Glycinate Recommendation
P.S. Should you buy Magnesium Glycinate, don't just buy any form of magnesium. You'll see many cheaper forms, most commonly "Magnesium Oxide."

For comparison, Magnesium Oxide is like the free pair of headphones you get on an airplane (that barely work) compared to Magnesium Glycinate being the branded, reliable wireless earphones we all own.

For those curious this is the one that I take: Magnesium Glycinate
