Six weeks on vitamin D3 and my 3pm crash just disappeared

I work night shifts at the 24/7 diner in Tacoma and my energy used to hit a wall around 3pm no matter how much coffee I had. After my doctor tested me at 19 ng/mL last month, I started taking 2,000 IU of D3 with my breakfast, and the afternoon slump is just gone now. Has anyone else seen their sleep schedule or mood shift this fast when they corrected a real deficiency?

19 ng/mL is straight up deficient, so no surprise the D3 hit different. I was at 14 back in January and my mood was trash for months, but 2,000 IU with my night shift breakfast fixed the 4am fog in like two weeks. Sleep still sucks but at least I don't want to cry at the register anymore. That crash you had is your body screaming for the basics, not coffee. Give it another month and see if your joints feel less creaky too.
