| 0:00.0 | It's 2.47 a.m. in the morning. Your eyes snap open. Your heart's racing a little. |
| 0:06.4 | Your brain's already running tomorrow's problems before your feet even hit the floor. |
| 0:11.5 | And yes, you have to pee again. |
| 0:13.7 | So you walk past your magnesium bottle on your counter and you think, |
| 0:18.0 | why am I still waking up exhausted? |
| 0:19.9 | When I'm taking the exact supplement, |

| 1:29.6 | between 2 and 4 a.m., something flips. You're suddenly wide awake. Your jaws tight. Maybe your calves |
