I got tired of collecting anecdotes; after a little bit, one more anecdote 'well I kind of sort of felt better although you know I didn't collect any kind of data whatsoever' is just pointless to link to. Sleep is variable, you can see any pattern you want to in a few days, especially with a dab of selection bias. (If I had stopped after 10 days, the means would have looked more impressive; but the p-values tell the truth.)


Have you considered taking Vitamin-D at sunrise as Seth suggests?


Gwern wrote in his experimental design that he took Vitamin D supplements in the mornings, when he hadn't taken them the night before.


Enough people have asked that I've decided to test out morning vitamin D. Still pondering the exact protocol for randomizing & blinding.
