I wrote about a more sytematic approach yesterday and today I would like to
concentrate on one aspect: Vitamin D because it's so important for sleep
Before taking Vitamin D I woke up every 2-3 hours during the night
then I started taking it and after 4 weeks I noticed that I slept 6 hours in one go
(I took 15000 to 18000 IU sublingually a day)
but then my levels were to high and I had to stop taking the Vitamin D for a while
and then, very quickly I was back to 3 hour sleep portions only
so now I am taking it again but much less (6000 - 9000 IU daily)
very slowly I am noticing that my sleeping pattern starts to shift again
I am up to 4-5 hour chunks now after 4 weeks of the new protocol
and I'll have a blood test done next week to compare my levels with me sleeping pattern
I think Vitamin D (and yes, I know it's a prohormone) is absolutely essential for healing because it promotes deep sleep and that's the phase where the body heals itself. Of course, many other factors have to be sorted out as well but sleep is very very important.
