I guess if you wore sunscreen 24/7 and never took any supplements, sure, I guess vitamin D deficiency could be a problem. But feeling a little sleepy is still nothing compared to the risk of skin cancer, sunburns, and premature aging of your skin due to UV exposure.

If vitamin D is a problem for you (as it is for nearly everyone in a northern climate), take the pills. It's impossible to overdose, you could down an entire bottle of vitamin D and be fine, if that's what you want. I'll continue to wear sunscreen at the beach and not be the guinea pig hoping decades of research on skin cancer is wrong, thank you very much!
