I think I got so magnesium deficient from a strict keto diet that I had hypnogogic H hypnogogic jerks which is when you're falling asleep and if anyone's experienced this they know this and you wake yourself up because you feel like you're falling and it's a magnesium deficiency primarily and I had it at one time in my residency after I'd probably been doing keto for a few months I had it so badly that I had multiple nights of insomnia because you just you do you go to sleep and you have this hypnogogic jerk where you just jerk yourself awake and your sympathetic nervous system is activated and then you go to sleep again it happens again and after it happens two or three times you're afraid to fall asleep
