Okay, mccrump -- you asked! I see that you have found the two essential tools in life, WD-40 and duct tape, so I think that restless legs fall into the "it moves and shouldn't" category -- so that must mean that you should duct tape your legs together! lololol Seriously though, I take tizanidine, a muscle relaxant, at bedtime, and not only does it help me fall asleep quickly, it also helps with the restless legs, which used to bother me horribly. Of course, as kesslmama says, being physically tired out from some exercise like house cleaning helps lots of people as long as you don't overdo till you ache all over, or do the exercise too close to bedtime. good luck, I hope you get some help with this problem! |
I just wrap a blanket around my legs, put on sweats or long johns, whatever you have to do to get them really really warm. That seems to help, if that doesn't work I just walk around the house cleaning until I am so tired that I practically fall asleep standing up.
