Twitching foot keeps me from sleeping at night

I had twitching in my whole leg, one-sided restless leg syndrome. Have your iron levels checked. I started taking an iron supplement a couple of months after my sleep doc tested and indicated that I had sub-optimal results for my age on labs. My iron levels are increasing and the RLS has diminished a lot. Also, check for new guidelines regarding iron and ferritin levels in elderly folks. The low end of the normal range should be higher for us.

@deborah5280 do you stretch your body before bed? Try stretching your legs and feet for 15 minutes before sleep and it might help.
