I haven't had a good nights sleep in a while and I'm wondering if my vitamins/supplements are making me restless.

I would think it would be my multi-vitamin as opposed to my Vit C or E or Fish Oils.

Sometimes I don't take my Multi-Vitamin until 7:00 pm or so. I go to bed around 10:00 pm or earlier if I can.

Does that make any sense?

I take mine in 2 doses (after meal 1 and after my last meal- about 45 min before bedtime). For the latter I take Vit C, Vit E, fish oils, Iron Folic, Ca-Mag-Zinc.
I doubt your sleep problems are caused by the vitamins.
Are you doing your workout/cardio too late in the evening? That can definitely keep you up.

The only reason I was thinking it might be the MV is because of the B vitamins in it.
I do cardio in the morning except for Wednesdays. On Wednesday I do cardio after my weights; I'm finished with everything by 6:45 pm or 7:00 pm.

It's weird because I thought maybe I was too hot so I put a fan on at night which is in addition to the air conditioning.

It's so frustrating because I wake up and I'm so tired. I could easily sleep a few more hours.

I'm going to try to get on a new schedule of getting up earlier and therefore going to bed earlier.
