does vitamin d promote sleep
Thankfully there are certain supplements you can take which can help you fall asleep and stay asleep: 1. Vitamin D -- A deficiency in vitamin D affects your body's ability to regulate circadian rhythms (your body's clock). With your body's clock not running correctly, it's unable to signal the sleep hormones involved in making you fall asleep and wake up.
Factors contributing to poor sleep include vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Magnesium deficiency can cause insomnia; lack of potassium can lead to difficulty staying asleep; and vitamin D deficiency has been linked to excessive daytime sleepiness.
