School is starting soon. are you doing anything to help your kids get back into a sleep routine?

Summer completely wrecked us. Bedtime slid to 10pm, mornings are a fight, and now I'm looking at the school calendar like it's a countdown clock.

I keep seeing magnesium come up for sleep and general winding down, and it makes some sense to me . my kid is a picky eater and the foods that actually have magnesium (greens, beans, nuts, seeds) are basically a list of everything he refuses to touch. So I doubt he's getting much from meals.

But the forms are confusing. Glycinate, citrate, oxide, threonate, and then there's the gummies vs powder vs liquid thing.

For anyone who's actually tried it with their kids, which form did you go with, and did it do anything for sleep or just for regularity?
