Magnesium deficiency is often a precursor to sleep disorders, such as anxiety, hyperactivity and restlessness. Itâs been suggested that this is because magnesium is vital for GABA function, an inhibitory neurotransmitter known to âcalmâ the brain and promote relaxation.
Deficiency of magnesium can cause tiredness, generalized weakness, muscle cramps, abnormal heart rhythms, increased irritability of the nervous system with tremors, paresthesias, palpitations, hypokalemia, hypoparathyroidism which might result in hypocalcemia, chondrocalcinosis, spasticity and tetany, epileptic seizures, basal ganglia calcifications and in extreme and prolonged cases coma, intellectual disability or death.
