No role in sleep

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for getting back, I am sorry for the short delay in my reply. There was a family emergency

Magnesium lotion can help you sleep better only if you have a skin issue like dermatitis. These patients have chronic itching which keeps them awake through the night, in such patients it will help in better quality of sleep not in normal patients. Peace spray also acts in the same way. If you have no skin problem and your aim is to get good sleep then these products is of no help to you

I hope i was of help, please get back to me for any doubts that you may have. I am once again sorry for the delay
