#3My vitamin D level is only optimal when taking an average of 11000 IU / day (D3 + K2). It hasn't improved my sleep quality. As an example, I woke up at 3:30 am this morning and feel like I haven't slept at all.

Maybe your problem doesn't depend on Vitamin D. Have you tried contacting a doctor?

#550,000 IUs every 15 days for 8 weeks. I wonder if it would have better effects if they were given 3-4k IUs every day

Are you vaping by any chance?

What might this have to do with the topic? Does what you vape or how have an effect?

#8Totally anecdotal, but I went through a period of insomnia a few years age. It would take several hours to get to sleep. I realised that I had recently started taking vitamin D supplements just before bed and figured it might be connected.
Changed to take the supplements in the morning and the insomnia went away.

Not that I'm an expert in sleep but I would recommend assessing your cortisol levels - you can do a blood test and I think there are also saliva tests - if you are regularly waking up early. I'd also recommend reflecting on whether there are any chronic stressors in your life - sometimes these things affect you for so long you almost become unaware of them!
I guess you alrready know this but 11000 IU is a massive dose of D3 and probably isn't healthy long term.

Apparently D3 inhibits production of melatonin. Can't remember where I read this so not a hugely useful comment but I promise I didn't just make it up! Anecodtally, I've also experienced similar issues taking 1000 IU D3 before bed and having trouble sleeping. I moved the dose to the morning and Boom!, good sleep.
Edit: Here is the study. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23665342/ - only a single study but still interesting
