Sunny, I am glad it helps this problem for you.
Yesterday Marilyn @steeldove sent me an article that opened my eyes to the benefits of magnesium, which I was already aware of to an extent, but not to the extent I am now. Magnesium is like a miracle mineral. I have been having trouble getting to sleep for the first hour every night for at least a couple of weeks. Last night for the first time, I took 160 mg of Magnesium citrate and I had a much better time getting to sleep. I have ordered some magnesium glycinate as the other article she sent me extolled it's ability to make one drowsy more easily and it's better absorption. I take everything I learn about with a grain of salt, but when something works like it did last night, that gets my attention! So I am not surprised at how it helps your problem in your legs. All my best, Hank

@jesfactsmon Hank, I'm so pleased that you tried magnesium and found it so helpful. It's a easily overlooked but vital mineral.

@jesfactsmon.. I also tske magnesium glycinate, it's a better magnesium. I never have trouble going to sleep , it's staying asleep through the night that's the problem. I've tried everything under the sun, or moon, in this case. Turn off TV and all digital devices, read a book before bed, stretch, no caffein at all, going to bed the same time etc. etc. If anyone has any secrets to an undisturbed sleep, please share! BTW, magnesium is also good for blood pressure, many people are magnesium deficient. Unfortunately the way foods are grown and processed nowadays, this mineral is often deminished by the time they reached the market. Pumpkins seeds is a good source too.
