After a twitch-free day taking my usual medication, why am I now sitting on the edge of the bed, longing for sleep at1.30am. The right leg is performing so enthusiastically having taken over from the left one. I must have done something very bad in a past life and this is the punishment - sleep deprivation. If I wasn't so tired I would go downstairs and make tea and spend the rest of the night munching chocolate biscuits. I wonder where I could get a bar of lavender soap at this time of the night!!
Sleep well everyone.

No chance of sleep here, too busy watching "soaps" lavender of course 🌸.
I match your right leg with my left and raise you an arm, sounds like poker to me!
Such fun the night watch isn't it 🙄 oh I wish we could stay still enough to sleep.
Thinking about taking up left legged line dancing, any offers for a right legged partner? 🎶🤣🤠

I went line dancing once. I won first prize as the worst dancer. The shame still haunts me. (Although the prize was a bottle of whiskey)
My musicality only goes down to knee level I’m afraid.
Personally I would say the chocolate biscuits will taste a lot better than the lavender soap, but there’s no accounting for taste.🤢
I once had to deal with a rather confused lady who tried to eat a bar of soap. In her case it caused a severe reaction known as angio-neurotic oedema and her face and throat swelled up. It was quite dangerous as the inflammation in her airway almost asphyxiated her and she needed steroids to treat it.
Based on a theory I've read on here that RLS is an autoimmune disease and inflammation is involved then keeping your soap under the bottom sheet, TIGHTLY tucked in, is probably the best place to keep it.
At least then you know where it is and can be reassured that the little b****** can't sneak into your mouth while you're asleep.
I don't have soap in my house anywhere, just in case any errant molecules from it get into the air and get me while I am awake.
Soap manufacturers should be made to put a message on the packaging, "Warning! Soap can cause RLS"
Soap might be more of a threat to mankind than global warming.
