Anecdotally, whenever I go swimming with my kids in the summer, and I don't put sunscreen on right away, but let myself get some intense direct sun, I feel good and sleep really well that night.

As long as I don't let myself get in a red, sunburn situation.

Definitely not. Vitamin D takes a while to synthesize and build up. A quick fix like this isn't possible.
