can vitamine D deficiency cause haedaches and sleeping issues
Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with headaches and sleep issues in some studies. There is evidence suggesting a relationship between vitamin D deficiency and headaches, which includes both migraines and other types of primary headache disorders12.
As for sleep issues, while there isn't a direct, well-established link between vitamin D deficiency and sleep disruptions, some studies propose that vitamin D plays a role in regulating sleep patterns due to its involvement in brain development and function. Hence, deficiencies could potentially influence sleep quality indirectly1.
If you're experiencing persistent headaches or sleep disturbances, it might be worth discussing vitamin D testing with a healthcare professional as part of a broader evaluation.
