Restless legs remedies?

Question

I'm willing to try anything at this point... Every time I lie down to go to sleep it's like my legs are like 'na-uhhh!' It just feels like they're compelling me to kick, or at least to move them around non stop. Which isn't how you want your legs to feel when you're exhausted and want to go to sleep and you have to get up for work in the morning.

Someone said to try doing some squats. Tried that, didn't work for me... Same with going for a walk. Or taking a hot shower. Or taking a cold shower. Or not eating carbs before bed. Anyone have any other tips or will I just have to accept that this is gonna keep happening every night for the next 2 months as well...? Getting a little desperate here... I can't even relax and read a book because the feeling doesn't go away when I stop trying to sleep either :(

Answer

I take a warm bath and drop some lavender essential oil in the water. Sometimes I have to do it in the middle of the night, but just 10 minutes of soaking in the warm water really helps me. Good luck!!

Answer

Ok here's what I'm trying:

Calcium and magnesium. 500mg calcium and 250mg magnesium. You can take them together.

Massage before bed - even just 5 minutes. Have someone use coconut oil and massage UPWARDS ONLY on your legs. So go from ankle to knee. Have them avoid behind the knee (no muscles back there so it'll be really agitating - I almost kicked DH in the face).

One drop of lavender essential oil and/or peppermint EO, mix with a carrier like coconut oil, and gently massage behind knees.

Epsom salt baths are great too!  Soak for 20 minutes.

My mum says potassium and calcium really help her along with exercising every day like running on the treadmill. I've never had it so I only know from what she's told me has helped her cuz hers kicked in when she became pregnant with me and she's had it ever since and it's been 26 years now lol.

Eat a banana before going to bed. Helps me

Answer

Magnesium!

It's in Epsom salt, so soaking in a bath with it would help :)

You can also apply some magnesium oil to your skin (kinda tingly at first!)

Or I've been taking it in powdered supplement form about a half hour before bed. It helps with pregsomnia as well as restless legs :) Natural Calm is the brand I take. It's in the supplement aisle of most places I've seen. Mixed with water and its fizzy yummy (the raspberry lemon flavor at least!)

Good luck!

Answer

CALM with Calcium!!! (It's a calcium-magnesium powder you dissolve in a glass of water). It has been a lifesaver for me with my restless legs. You can buy it on Amazon or in the health food/supplements aisle of your grocery store.

Answer

I'm following this. 
I have terrible rls and being pregnant only makes it worse. The only thing that helps me is making my self so tired that the second I hit the bed I'm to tired to care about my legs. I still only sleep about 4 hours before my body wakes me up running. It sucks 😑
