I take 5,000 IU of Vitamin D daily and 3 mg of Melatonin about an hour or so before bed. It has all but cured a lifetime of serious sleep issues.

- kazinator 8y agoI take 5000 D3 at 9 in the morning. It causes me to naturally wake up at 6 a.m. or even earlier, without feeling groggy. If I take it when traveling, jet lag is greatly diminished and overcome much more rapidly. I switch to taking it 9 a.m. of the destination's local time. If 9 a.m. occurs during the flight, I take it then. It's like an external clock pulse! The first time I took 5000 D3, I made the mistake of doing it in the evening. My sleep that very night was quite strange, disturbed with weird dreams. I immediately clued in to the fact that morning might be better. Basically, mimicking the onset of daylight. D3 is beneficial for exercise; it relieves that muscle soreness and tiredness and improves mental alertness. It helps beat those winter blues and gets you out there.

- kazinator 8y agoI should mention that when I'm too long on D3, I start to "feel my teeth". Exactly like this blogger: http://ctheblog.cforyourself.com/2008/12/overdosing-on-vitamin-d-side-effects.html http://ctheblog.cforyourself.com/2008/12/overdosing-on-vitam... When I get those teeth sensations, I back off the D3. That blogger's experience with waking up early in the morning between 5-6 exactly matches mine, also.
