1. Sleep disorder

Even though the connection between vitamin D levels and sleep is yet unclear, several studies have shown that people who have a vitamin D deficiency have a lower quality of sleep. So you cannot only blame the lack of vitamin D for having trouble sleeping. BUT, at the same time, doctors agree that there is a widespread distribution of vitamin D receptors in those areas of the human brain that control the sleep-wake cycle.

Also, some research has shown that this key vitamin helps to stimulate the production of serotonin in the brain. Not having adequate serotonin production affects the melatonin levels, thus your body will find it hard to perceive the signal to fall asleep at night.

It’s important to understand that a vitamin D deficiency may not be the only reason why you cannot sleep at night. If you think there’s a chance you may be deficient in this vitamin, talk to your doctor and do a vitamin D blood test.

  1. what one needs is a good multivitamin as their are to many interactions but then the companies wouldn’t make so much money and since no one checks what’s in them you might be getting goat terds called smart pills. All symptoms noted are nonspecific requiring checking more than vitamin D.

    1. Great post and you posted on my birthday. Late afternoon nude sunbathing is also great. You are out of the midday sun and able to enjoy the sun’s rays on your skin. The sun is a great source of vitamin D.

  2. This is a main reason why I am a Naturist. A Naturist is one who practices nudism outdoors for the benefit of getting sunlight on the whole body as the sun is a natural source of vitamin D. To avoid sunburn and possible skin cancer, the best times are very early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Avoid the harmful rays of the midday sun.
    One nudist resort I go to allows me to be in the shade during the mid day where I also go swimming. As a precaution, I also use some sunscreen. Around 4:00 PM the sun has set enough where it is safe to sunbath nude and not get burned. Even better times are between 5 and 6:30 PM. Just enjoy the sun’s rays on your whole body. Your buttocks is the best place to get sun and much needed vitamin D.
