I think insomnia starts gradually and progressively gets worse after a few days, maybe a week, my hypothesis was that D3 was building up, apparently it has a very long half life. I took about 2000-3000 IU, it’s not that much, right?
I didn’t try K2 supplement, but I’ve just googled and turns out spinach and kale have a lot of K, and I eat a lot of those.
K2 you cannot get from spinach or kale. Only from fermented natto, cabage but mostly from animal fat in brie and gouda cheese, organ meats, eggs, butter, milk and meat but ONLY from grass fed animals (K1 transforms to K2 when animals eat grass). Brie and Gouda could be from milk that is not from grass fed animals since in these 2 types of cheese bacteria produces the K2.
Whether something is a lot depends on your baseline. Mainstream researchers would say that’s a lot as it’s 250% of the RDA of D3. From my perspective it however isn’t a lot.
Spinach and kale contain K1 and not K2. You could still be K2 deficient if you get a lot of K2.
Vitamin A is also plausible but given that too much Vitamin A is bad (on average Vitamin A supplements increase the death rate) I wouldn’t supplement it in a targeted way without blood tests.
How fast do you get the insomnia after taking a supplement? What do you mean with small amounts?
Do you take K2?
