Why Can’t I Sleep?

My insomnia was a result of a magnesium deficiency (also vitamin d)

This can be true, last check with the doctor about the lungs revealed I had vitamin D deficiency. But I've been always sleepy, no matter what number of hours I sleep.

I guess I have to praise the sun more often.

Vitamin D hugely increased the quality of sleep I got. But interestingly not actually taking D3 supplements, using a vitamin D lamp got the job done.

Interesting, any skin cancer risk with that?

The wavelength is chosen to minimize the risk. The lamp is used to treat skin problems and the amount of time for that use is quite a bit longer than just to get some vitamin d from it.

Does timing of the dose matter? Meaning do you take the supplements right before bed, in the morning, etc?

Yes it does. Before bed.
