Study was in an elderly cohort with cognitive impairment. This is a cohort more likely to have nutrition and diet problems and spend all of their time indoors. I haven’t found the full study but the results look marginal for a narrow group.
Then there’s this important note in the highlights:
> Higher daily Vitamin D intake may impact cognition in persons with sleep disturbance and MCI.
More is not better with Vitamin D. Correcting deficiencies is good but the mega dosing trend is not.

The shortened title is incorrect: the “/“ should be “+”.
The study only addresses people with sleep disturbance and also mild cognitive impairment.
(The unshortened title is little better due to the ambiguity inherent in “and” - but “/“ definitively means “or”.)

Before you start self-medicating -- "participants had a mean age of 67.2±8.9" and this is a study focusing on people with mild cognitive impairment.
You should see a physician before attempting to treat your poor sleep with vitamin D or melatonin.

"Self-medicating" with a standard multivitamin is harmless at worst, and so is additional vitamin D supplementation if it's not in the extreme over a long period of time. It has a nonzero chance of helping, and it's a cheap and easy thing to throw into one's routine.
