When I get restless legs at night I do the exercises for the leg involved as described under calf stretch and front thigh stretch at healthline.com/health/restl.... In addition, I walk for about 3 to 4 minutes rolling the foot of the leg affected back and forth as I walk. It works every time although I may wake up later at night and have to do again. Actually on the calf stretch I don't hold it for 20 seconds, but instead do the exercise for 20 - 30 times. I also push my heel back before I lean forward. I, also move my leg to each side when it is stretched. On the thigh stretch, I only hold it for a few seconds, but then repeat 6 - 10 times. Hope this helps.
