I feel perpetually sleepy.
I have a hard time napping during the day- scratch that I can’t nap during the day. My anxiety makes it impossible. However the second I crack open a book I feel like I’m going to pass out. It’s very strange.

I’ve been taking 5,000 ius of vitamin d every day!
I’d still recommend getting a blood test. I live in the United States’s Pacific Northwest and I have to take 10k IUs every day to hit low normal in the winter. Don’t do that on your own without testing, it’s a huge dose. I just seem to absorb it poorly.
In case you also live in a similar area, I also use a sunrise lamp and a SAD light all fall and winter long and it makes a huge difference in my energy levels and overall motivation.
5000 ius is a lot. You shouldn’t be taking that much unless it’s doctors orders.
You could be taking too much. ~2,000 is a safer “just take it” dose
Another thing is your iron levels. A lot of people are chronically low in iron, especially pre-Menopausal women.
