Multivitamins

According to Anahad O'Connor from the New York Times Magazine multivitamins can be the reason why you’re not getting a full night’s sleep. "Some users claiming that multivitamins shorten sleep and lead to more frequent awakenings in the middle of the night." A study was conducted in 2007, researchers tested many people’s sleep habits including if they took any medication or vitamins they also had them keep a sleep log for two weeks. "Scientist found a slightly higher rate of poor or interrupted sleep in people taking multivitamins. But because they found only an association, they could not rule out the possibility that people with poorer sleep are simply more likely to seek out multivitamins." If you find this to be true, you have to separate the effects of each vitamin, studies show that vitamin B and B6 can lead to deep dreaming which can wake you. Researchers say if people think their multivitamin is the reason for them awaking at night, a good solution would be to take the pills in the morning.
