I haven't heard about sleep problems with Vitamin D!!!! Sadly problems sleeping is a common meno symptom so it is probably more to do with hormones than anything else. I am finding I wake early in the mornings these days - I long to be able to sleep in a bit in the mornings as I used to do when I was younger. DG x

Never heard of sleep problems with Vitamin D.
I use D3 every day and have done for 10 years, no sleep problems.
Well none, apart from when OH snores   ::)

Do you take it in the morning? I've not heard of it causing sleep issues either.
