FAQs
Sleep & relaxation FAQs
Does magnesium help you sleep?
Magnesium plays a role in relaxation and many people make it part of their evening routine. The evidence on sleep is mixed, so it works best alongside good sleep habits. Speak to your GP before starting any supplement.
What is the best drink before bed?
Choose something without caffeine, such as water, warm milk or a herbal tea. Vidrate Night is a caffeine-free, zero-sugar drink with magnesium, L-theanine, zinc and lemon balm, designed to be mixed with hot or cold water before bed.
Is it good to drink water before bed?
A glass of water in the evening helps you stay hydrated, but drinking a lot right before bed can wake you up in the night. Spread your fluids through the day instead.
When should you stop drinking water before bed?
Many people find it helps to have their last big drink an hour or two before bed, with small sips after that if they're thirsty.
Is magnesium an electrolyte?
Yes. Magnesium is one of the body's electrolytes, alongside sodium, potassium, calcium and chloride.
Does caffeine affect sleep?
Yes. Caffeine can stay in your system for several hours after you drink it, so it is best avoided from early afternoon if you want to sleep well.
