### 30-60 min before bed:

* Magnesium glycinate (200-300 mg)
* Zinc picolinate (or choose ZMA combo)
* L‑theanine (100-200 mg) or regular tea.
* Optional: a herbal tea like green tea, chamomile, valerian.
* Optional: cup of water + tiny pinch of salt. (especially in summer, or when very tired or sweating)

### Daily Total

* Without the optional half banana: ~3,000 mg potassium
* With optional half banana: ~3,200-3,300 mg potassium

### Why this works

* Potassium: hits or slightly exceeds recommended daily intake
* Magnesium: multiple sources (walnuts, almonds, spinach) -> helps muscles and nerves
* Calcium: cheese + yogurt -> bone & muscle support
* Protein: lentils, edamame, nuts, cheese -> muscle repair
* Evening walnut snack: supports muscle relaxation overnight
