Here's the [music] problem with magnesium supplementation when it comes to sleep. The first thing to note is
00:00:04
that most forms [music] of magnesium don't cross the book brain barrier and sleep is produced by your brain. So, how
00:00:10
can something that doesn't get into your brain affect brain [music] process? All
00:00:14
you're doing is creating probably expensive urine. >> But it doesn't stop there. There's so
00:00:20
much new evidence that we have, including this myth of 8 hours, my fear about giving melatonin to kids. Why you
00:00:26
keep waking up in the middle of the night and the invention [music] of the first new class of sleeping
00:00:32
medication that I actually favor and most people are not aware of it. >> Okay, let me write this down.
00:00:37
>> So, as a society, we have struggles with sleep at night due to many reasons, but

00:01:05
disease risk [music] increase. >> What the science really teaches us that there are four pillars of good sleep.
00:01:10
And then there's this incredible new study looking at [music] sleep banking.
00:01:13
And this is remarkable for people who are facing a sprint at work or a medical doctor about to go on call for the next
00:01:18
40 hours, new parent. And we can go through all of that. But if you were to push me to say the three most impactful
