Restless Leg Syndrome
Does anyone suffer from it?

I've had it since I was a teenager, usually accentuated my insomnia.

Its just this really excruciating twitching sensation in my foot, sometimes both, and it keeps me up for quite a while.
It only occur when I'm about to fall into deep sleep, them I feel the twitching and just flex my foot to rid of the pain.

Helps but takes away the sleep

I do, when I get really stressed. For me it's the most horrible feeling unless I move my legs/body. I get it anywhere from just legs, to my entire body, but luckily it's fairly rare/mild.

There are different home rememdies available, including drinking tonic water (it has an ingredient that helps) and regular exercise. I find if I use gravol, the drowsy stuff, it gets much worse, as well as other products with the same ingredient, like cough/cold meds. I thought it was just a weird thing, but found an article about it.

I don't know much about it, so I'm not very much help...
