Good morning, ma'am, There is no reliable data indicating a benefit of magnesium supplementation on sleep or concentration, in particular Given the lack of data, I do not recommend it, especially considering its non-negligible risk of side effects such as cramps and diarrhea. A healthy diet with fruits and vegetables, exercise, adequate sleep and good stress management are the best options. I hope I have been helpful to you and remain available if you have any further questions! Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
