I am late getting going this morning after another night of insomnia caused by my restless legs. I am getting really fed up with tossing and turning for most of the night. I read nearly a whole book last night. In the morning of course I feel so tired and cannot get going - much to the annoyance of the boys!!
I am now taking Turmeric, Magnesium and Vitamin D as recommended by a number of friends but no change so far. My blood pressure has been sorted and am now at target which is wonderful but I still have these sleep issues. All I want is a good nights sleep.Feeling sorry for myself which is not on!! So sorry to go on again about my health issues!!
I learned not to get upset about insomnia. Because that just seemed to aggravate things. Are you reading in bed? If so get up and go to another room. Maybe try some exercise. I often fall asleep in a chair when I can't in bed.
Oh Pam I feel for you….I have this problem in a milder form. I thought I had it badly until I watched a horrifying programme about folk who have it in the worst form, they were self harming to take the mind off their legs. I have heard quinine is good ….my excuse for a G&T every night. Hope you sleep better tonight.
Love this one of your boys but I still can’t tell them apart! Guessing Finley at the back.
@joansmor I used to fret about not sleeping too but now I get up & have a cup of tea, read my book & try again. Sometimes I feel I have been awake all night but strangely rarely feel tired next day until evening any way. It’s a long long night though!!
Oh Pat, insomnia and restless legs … I remember it well. I am lucky the restless legs are not like they used to be…. Unfortunately I can’t share any wisdom because I have no idea why…. but still have insomnia.
♥️♥️ Even better on black! Hope your legs get sorted out soon! Get some tea and hopefully some awesome sleep. The lack of sleep doesn’t help and you get caught in a circle. I’m so sorry your having this problem. My fingers are crossed for you, my friend.
I have restless leg syndrome too, and it drives me crazy some nights. Melatonin doesn't do it for me. Another thing you and I have in common is that I posted a pair of doggies tonight, too!
My brother in law swears by Tonic water for his restless legs, alas he doesn’t care for gin. Your boys are sweet and I know they understand, they are smart. I hope you rest tonight.
Love this one of your boys but I still can’t tell them apart! Guessing Finley at the back.
