Nah, I just don't care about alcohol, and coffee gives me heartburn (which is normally well under control thanks to a PPI).

I'd look at any long term medication as a factor.

PPIs can definitely affect magnesium. https://www.gov.uk/drug-safety-update/proton-pump-inhibitors...

On the other hand if your heartburn causes reflux then the PPI can help sleep. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24942514
