I recently started taking 500 mg of magnesium before bed, along with 500 mg of Taurine, to help me sleep. Last night I had the worst night terror I have had in a long time. I used to have really bad night terrors frequently, but in recent years, they seemed to have pretty much disappeared. Last night, I awoke in such a fright. My heart was pounding and I was shaking. I was sure I was actually screaming out loud, but, since my dog wasn't freaking out, I must have just been screaming in the dream. It took about 10 - 15 minutes to calm down. I will take the magnesium again tonight to see if it happens again. If so, then I guess I will either stop the magnesium or take it during the day. Thanks for the tip.
