Symptom 10. Sleep Disturbances
Sleep disturbances, such as insomnia and poor sleep quality, can be another symptom of vitamin D deficiency. Research suggests that vitamin D plays a role in regulating the sleep-wake cycle, and a deficiency in this essential nutrient may impact sleep patterns.
Individuals with low vitamin D levels may experience difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, or achieving restorative sleep. They may also suffer from daytime sleepiness and fatigue, which can affect their overall well-being and daily functioning.
Studies have shown that supplementing with vitamin D can help improve sleep quality in those with low levels. To promote healthy sleep patterns and overall well-being, it is essential to ensure sufficient vitamin D intake through sunlight exposure, diet, and supplements if necessary. (10)
