When I complained about my RLS to a friend she said “try sleeping on your front”. Amazingly, it does work for me. Something to do with the front of the legs being held in a gentle stretch I think. Anyway I can usually get to sleep like that, though I do wake up later drooling into the pillow...🤪

Sorry to hear that! If there’s anything we all know about this thing it’s that we all have our own unique dose of it!😕
