In a perfect world you should be getting enough by having your skin exposed to sunlight but if you are like me, especially in winter months, it is dark when I leave for work, I spend the day in a cube, and it is dark when I come home. Liquid vitamin D in the morning usually has me back to a full night of sleeping within 48 hours.
