I wakeup a lot during sleep due to which I feel fatigue and low energy whole day. Also I've issue maintaining my Sleep schedule. My therapist suggested taking magnesium glycinate for this. I want to know what brand to opt for and what should be the dose. Also if u should also include Ashwagandha gummies as I have anxiety and stress too due to which there are concentration issues and very less motivation about everything.

Need a proper evaluation before starting supplements. Please book a consultation so we can assess your sleep pattern, anxiety and possible underlying causes and decide whether magnesium is appropriate without reviewing your history and medications

I think it would be better to consult a physician regarding your current complaint as lack of sleep, anxiety doesn't happen just like that as there is always a cause for all this condition
Next Steps
i would assess your work life routine first as many individuals have this similar complaint due to overworking and not getting enough rest for your self
taking magnesium supplement and ashwagandha is fine but unless an until we treat the cause this issues will persist
Health Tips
do take breaks or if possible leave and try to work on urself meditation and yoga will be helpful and avoid taking taking caffeine after 6pm and avoid screen time 1 to 2 hrs before bedtime

Frequent night waking with daytime fatigue usually points to a disrupted sleep cycle, not a separate illness. That fits with the anxiety and stress you describe, since the two feed into each other. Magnesium glycinate and ashwagandha are both commonly used for sleep and stress. The right brand and dose depend on your weight and anything else you take, so that call is best left to your therapist or physician.
Next Steps
Ask your therapist to confirm the dose and whether to start magnesium and ashwagandha together or one first. Keep a fixed wake-up time and cut caffeine after early afternoon to help reset your schedule.
Health Tips
If concentration and motivation keep dropping despite better sleep, or anxiety feels unmanageable, please see a physician or psychiatrist for a full evaluation.
