S9E2: MS and Sleep: The Habit That Helps Your Brain Detox + Recover

from My MS Podcast · host Alene Brennan

Sleep can be incredibly frustrating when you're living with MS. Maybe your legs won't settle. Maybe your mind won't stop racing. Or maybe you sleep all night and still wake up exhausted. But sleep isn't just about feeling rested. While you sleep, your brain activates a powerful cleanup system that helps remove toxins and inflammatory waste that build up during the day. For those of us living with MS, supporting that nightly "brain detox" process can play an important role in protecting the brain and nervous system. In this episode, we're talking about MS and sleep: why sleep can be challenging with MS and a few simple habits that can improve the quality of your sleep. You'll learn: What happens in your brain while you sleep Why your brain's cleanup system becomes 10x more active at night How supplement timing can impact sleep Why magnesium may support both sleep and digestion How morning sunlight helps regulate your circadian rhythm Even small changes to your sleep routine can make a powerful difference over time.  👉 Want the full transcript + show notes (including links and resources mentioned in this episode)?
