If you like me and 100% of others I have seen testing vit D have it low you might want to try vit D. I definetely will try a sublingual form. Of course, I know my severe sleep problems are more tied with very low adrenal hormones and hypothyroidism than other thing, but being severely defficient in 25-hydroxyvitamin D this is something I want to try.
I have had great success with sublingual melatonin, NAC, glutathione reduced and pharmaGABA for sleep onset insomnia but they haven´t even touched the multiple awakenings.
By the way, I do no buy the crap pushed by Dr. Marshall
Abstract
An observation of sleep improvement with vitamin D supplementation led to a 2 year uncontrolled trial of vitamin D supplementation in 1500 patients with neurologic complaints who also had evidence of abnormal sleep. Most patients had improvement in neurologic symptoms and sleep but only through maintaining a narrow range of 25(OH) vitamin D3 blood levels of 60-80 ng/ml. Comparisons of brain regions associated with sleep-wake regulation and vitamin D target neurons in the diencephalon and several brainstem nuclei suggest direct central effects of vitamin D on sleep. We propose the hypothesis that sleep disorders have become epidemic because of widespread vitamin D deficiency. The therapeutic effects together with the anatomic-functional correspondence warrant further investigation and consideration of vitamin D in the etiology and therapy of sleep disorders.
