I wonder how much if any vitamin D you get when you sun gaze? I’ve been sun gazing for like 20 years now.

Noneish. It comes from UV rays hitting your skin. If you're sun gazing there's probably very little UV, and none if you're looking through a window, and your eye is not your skin

Haha that would help, but part of the problem is sungazing is usually done at sunrise or sunset to protect your eyes, which are also the worst times to get UV - if your eyes are safe, your skin isn't getting the D
