Sleep is essential for our overall health and well-being, much like food and water. It plays a vital role in numerous bodily functions. Many studies have been conducted to determine the efficacy of melatonin congeners and Mg supplements in patients with insomnia separately. This study aims to compare the efficacy of melatonin and magnesium supplements in young adults with primary insomnia. Most insomnia studies focus on older adults or individuals with comorbidities. Targeting otherwise healthy young adults brings age-specific relevance and novel insight.
