Vitamin D is one of the vitamins that is most strongly linked to sleep loss. Lacking vitamin D has been associated with sleep disorders, and research suggests it plays both a direct and indirect role in sleep regulation. Additionally, vitamin B12, which is involved in creating melatonin (the hormone that helps control sleep), may be linked to short sleep, trouble sleeping, and excessive daytime sleepiness. Vitamin B6 may also benefit people with insomnia, a disorder involving trouble sleeping.
Remember that maintaining a balanced diet and getting adequate sunlight exposure can contribute to better overall health, including healthy sleep patterns.
