I'm actually just completing a high-strength vitamin D tablet course and the advice for taking it in the instructions is to take it with your evening meal, so sounds like a load of hogwash.

Here, for example, are the instructions that came with my tablets:

Note the:

"Please Note: SunVit-D3® tablets should be swallowed whole with water and taken in the evening with a main meal."

The reason for that recommendation is that Vitamin D absorbs better in a meal with fat, and dinner is the biggest meal for most people.

See my other comment in reply to parent. There might be lower quality sleep because of the timing.
