“Closer to dawn than dusk” doesn’t mean “at dawn”, more like “before midday”.
And yes, it is literally dawn in Finland during winter months, if we’re gonna be pedantic about this. And you don’t even need to go to into the polar circle. About halfway to 2/3rds up Finland would be enough for dawn to be around 11.30 during winter.
I would wager that for a lot people on Lemmy, 15.00 is closer to their wakeup time than bedtime.
Dawn is when the sun rises. Morning is when you rise.
Oh we were having some sort or a pedant-off contest here, I didn’t actually say “AT dawn”. I meant to write “closer to” in there as well, but either I fucked it up with typing on mobile or I’m just so high my brain skipped a few words. Both have been known to happen on Saturday evenings.
Oh yeah there’s a hundred other things there as well, but *studies SEEM to indicate that you shouldn’t take vitamin d at night / in the evening / close to your bedtime. And since our organs also have circadian rhythms or function on oir circadian rhythm and it takes a while to ingest all of the supplement, perhaps a bit before a bit before your bedtime? Perhaps like, make it a routine to do it nearer the beginning of the day than the end of the day.
You have to use the actual words you mean, I can’t hallucinate your real meaning from thin air. People make typos, you made one, whatever. Just admit it was a mistake and move on instead of blaming ME lol, it’s so… lol.
Lol that is not what morning means. Morning is early morning to noon. You wouldn’t wake up at 2pm and insist the time of day is morning, even if you can say it’s YOUR morning and I understand that you mean you just woke up because it’s a common joke about late sleepers saying “morning” when it’s later.
I said to take vitamin D at midday. Never did I say to take it at night. You brought up taking a dose at night (probably to educate readers) when no one else has been saying to do so, certainly not me. The argument therefore isn’t: take before bed or take right when you wake up, the argument is: take midday or take right when you wake up.
You also can’t arbitrarily claim I’ve said something I’ve not said.
I’m a human, as you probably guess, and thus, fallible. I did admit to having made a mistake. The mistake was either in my fingers or my brain, but yeah, I definitely admitted to it being “my bad”. Maybe you skipped words when reading said comment, because you too, are human, and thus, fallible?
Oh we’re arguing the prescriptive meaning of “morning”? Cool. To me. Because It allows me to pedantically correct you, which you hate, because you’re just being a lil’ contrarian.
All academic research in linguistics is descriptive; like all other scientific disciplines, it aims to describe reality, without the bias of preconceived ideas about how it ought to be.
Morning is used to indicate “hello people, I’ve recently woken up”, even when it’s not actually morning. Like if someone wakes up, even it’s during the evening, but in an inappropriate place (ie someone dosed off somewhere), their friend make say “good morning, sleepyhead” when they wake up. Why’s that, then? You just strictly defined what morning means, so it can’t be used in other contexts. Oh wait, right, that’s only if you’re linguistically prescriptive. Which no academic linguists are, because that’s not how language gets used in the real world.
Where we are.
Ever worked a shift job? In those too, you’d find people talking about “in the morning” as the time of day they woke up, even when theyre working a night shift. But also, they might at the same time say “when I got home in the morning”, because that’s equally valid language usage. Because language is not prescriptive.
I said to take vitamin D at midday.
No, you’re now rounding up to midday, so you don’t have to argue the science over that anymore. You said “midday or later in the day”.
No, not “later in the day” exactly for the reasons mentioned. Despite never actually saying you have to take it the moment you wake up.
I can share my anecdotal experience though, which is that if you have to wake up 4 hours before dawn actually comes to go to work to drive people to buses and trains and then kids to school, I very much feel that vitamin D does perk me up in the morning. But with how large placebo is and how hard it is to quantify fatigue in general, that is purely anecdotal, not claiming it as any sort of evidence. But seems to help to wake up in a different way than caffeine, which basically just increases heartrate. (And no, that isn’t all it does, I’m exaggerating. That’s why I put down “basically”, because I don’t mean the sentence following it literally.)
And no, I didn’t proofread this and am sure there are more mistakes in it as well. Typos mostly I think but I’m not above skipping a word on accident. Ambien is a helluva drug. Although I’m not yet on today. Or am I and just forgot I took some? Might be. I’ve noticed it’s not terribly good for my memory.
Edit yeah in my first comment I did advice that if one supplements vitamin D, one shouldn’t probably do it in the evening. Then I exaggerated with comparing it to an antidote to melatonin to simplify the reason.
And lo behold, here we are a half a dozen essays later talking about it so I could’ve prolly saved time by actually detailing the first answer, but I wasn’t assuming such prescription
That isn’t dawn. No one should take vitamin D at dawn or when they first wake up. They should take it later in the day. Not at dusk either.
“Closer to dawn than dusk” doesn’t mean “at dawn”, more like “before midday”.

Well, direct the pedantry to yourself because you’re the one using ‘dawn’ that way, I just used your own term back to you quoting your words used:
You did not say CLOSER to dawn. You said take it at dawn than dusk.
There’s other reasons I think this, having to do with calcium, osteocalcin, movement, and vitamin k/food.
Morning is different from dawn.
Dawn is when the sun rises. Morning is when you rise.

Science seems to agree.
