Syl,
I have to wonder what the correlation between Vitamin D deficiency during winter months and the bodily melantonin supply is?
I garden and/or are outdoors a lot during the sunshine months of spring, summer, and into fall. However once winter sets in here, I have Seasonal Adjustment Disorder (SAD), and I find taking an extra Vitamin D supplement can help offset this somewhat.
Even so, I'm going back on the Melatonin, as this really DID help me sleep better at night, given the winter days are so short and there are more hours of darkness here than light. I sometimes tend to nap some during the day which doesn't help anything during the dark winter days. I do this as if I were a baby with my days and nights totally mixed up. I would prefer to get better zzz's at night and stay awake during the day.
