Sleep 8 Hours and Still Exhausted? Magnesium and Recovery | Wade Lightheart

Getting 8 hours of sleep and still waking up exhausted? You're tired enough to need coffee to get through the day, then somehow still too wired to switch off at night. You add magnesium, track your sleep, clean up your routine... and still wake up wondering why your body doesn't feel recovered.

In this episode of The Well Drop, I sit down with Wade Lightheart, co-founder of BIOptimizers, to look at one of the most overlooked pieces of that cycle. We get into what most people don't realize about magnesium, why eating well doesn't always mean you're getting what you think you're getting, and what may be happening long before bedtime that makes sleep harder.

Then Wade makes a distinction between sleep and recovery that changes the whole conversation. If you're getting the hours, taking the supplements and still waking up tired, the question may not be how to sleep more. It may be what your body has been missing all along.
