Have you checked out a Parkinson's diagnosis? The REM sleep disorder (the running legs) is one of the first signs of it.
My husband to get up in the middle of the night and go outdoors. Once had to go to the hospital due to hyperthermia. I stopped it (called sundowning) by giving him 10 mg of melatonin at 4 pm and another 10 mg of melatonin at 9 pm. He never sun downed again except for one time my son forgot to give him the first dose until 6 pm.
