Vitamin D level is quite low. Vitamin B12 is on the lower end, but the value would vary lab to lab. Please consult a doctor for supplements, so that they can factor your medical history too.
Besides that try the following:
1. Get 10-15 minutes of sunlight everyday.
2. If you eat animal foods, include Vitamin D rich foods like egg yolk (along with whites, once a day- assuming your cholesterol levels are normal) and fish.
3. For Vitamin B12 include eggs, milk, chicken and fish.
Sleep issues along with these deficiencies might indicate a gut health issue. But I don’t have all the details, therefore it is hard to say.
Go for a 15-20 minute walk after dinner. Avoid screen time 30 minutes before going to sleep.
Next Steps
Please consult a doctor immediately for supplements.
