Happy Friday! I’m trying out this new format based on your feedback: Mark’s Must-Haves—products I personally use and trust to improve my health and sleep.
My first must-have? This Magnesium.
Magnesium is essential for over 300 bodily processes. It calms the nervous system and helps you fall—and stay—asleep. Magnesium Breakthrough is the only supplement I’ve found that includes all seven types of magnesium, each targeting different needs in the body. My wife and I both take it, and it’s my go-to for deep rest.
My Oura Ring data backs it up—I get much better sleep when I’m taking my Mag Breakthrough. The company offers a 365-day guarantee so you have nothing to lose trying it out for an entire year, or your money back. I don’t know of any other company that offers that kind of guarantee.
Check it out here — for the entire month of November, BIOptimizers is doing a Black Friday blowout sale, so now is the best time to stock up.
Here are a few other must-haves I rely on:
Oura Ring: I use the Oura Ring to track sleep stages, recovery, and overall health. It gives data on deep sleep, REM cycles, and restfulness, so I know exactly what my body needs.
Xlear Nasal Spray: This xylitol-based spray keeps my nasal passageways clear without drying them out. Nasal breathing is critical for quality sleep, and Xlear is gentle yet effective. Highly recommend for kids as well.
Fygg Toothpaste: Did you know that peppermint in your toothpaste can act as a neurostimulant before bed? Fygg offers gentler flavors that won’t sabotage your efforts to relax and prepare for a restful night’s sleep. This kids’ vanilla toothpaste is the same strength as the adult formula, so use it for the whole family!
Ultrasonic Cleaner: I wear a mandibular advancement device (MAD) to open my airway and reach (and stay) in deep sleep. To keep my device clean, I use an ultrasonic cleaner that works wonders with just water—no need for chemical tablets. You can find it here. My son-in-law loves the one I got him as a Christmas gift last year and still uses it daily!
And of course, mouth tape! My favorite is the 3M kind you get any drugstore. Questions about mouth taping? Or a sleep must-have of your own? Hit reply!
For a deeper dive into sleep, check out my book, The 8-Hour Sleep Paradox, an Amazon #1 bestseller with 353 reviews. Here’s what readers are saying:
- “Dr. Burhenne’s insights transformed my understanding of sleep and health.”
- “Clear, concise, and packed with actionable steps. I wish I’d read it sooner.”
- “Dr. Mark’s approach is grounded in real science—and it works.”

Hoping you have a wonderful weekend,
