@reillyg1013 glad you have found some relief. I don't have RLS but get a max of 5-6 hours of sleep a night. I see you said you take magnesium citrate. I was told that isn't the best for sleep, that magnesium glycinate is better for sleep. I've been taking magnesium glycinate and have seen some improvement. Have you only used magnesium citrate or have you also used magnesium glycinate and if so, do you notice a difference.

I never tried magnesium citrate, I’ve only taken magnesium glycinate under direction from my endocrinologist. It did not help whatsoever even though it is meant to help with sleep. I tried for over a year to see if there was any benefit with it, but alas, no. I often have paradoxical reactions to medication both OTC & prescribed.
RLS is very sensitive to medications, especially antihistamines, antidepressants & sleep meds.
