A few weeks ago I forgot to take my B12 and multivitamin in the morning, so without giving it any thought I took them after supper. Later when I went to bed my eyes flew open and I didn't fall asleep for what seemed like an eternity. Only after that did I learn that B12 gives you an energy boost, so I've made sure to take it and my multi in the morning. Well today I had errands and forgot to take them in the a.m.. Now it is after 5pm and I dont want a repeat of the sleepless night, but I know I need my vitamins. What would you do? How soon before bed should you NOT take them? I go to bed about 9:30pm, I believe it may be too late. I should be able to take the multi and skip the B12, you think?

Re: A Vitamin Question
Start fresh tomorrow. Do you use one of those weekly pill cases? They work great and you just leave it on the counter where you would prep your breakfast and you'll never forget again. Just remember to refill it when you take the last one.
