"There are correlations between low blood vitamin D and poor sleep. There are also potential mechanisms through which vitamin D could influence sleep, either directly acting on the brain or immune system, or indirectly reducing sleep-disrupting health problems, although individuals with these health problems were not included in the study under review."

I've read that vitamin D does help with sleep by regulating the body's serotonin/melatonin systems. From what I understand, if you take the D at night there's a good chance it'll cause insomnia, but if you take it earlier in the day it'll help you sleep come bedtime.

Nice thread guys, turned out vitamin d was giving me insomnia. I used to take it before bed along with magnesium. Changed it up over the last week, started taking it in the morning and my sleep's 100x better!

I had no idea it caused sleep disruption if you took it at night. Good to know
