Re: RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME. My husband had it. His leg shook and vibrated the bed at regular intervals. I could count to twenty then his leg would jolt and shake the bed. It was like waiting for a centipede to drop the next shoe. Eventually we slept in separate beds. His doc said medication to ameliorate it could depress him and he was already on an antidepressant. When I described this to my sleep specialist she said it sounded like REM behavior sleep disorder. Sorry, I wish I knew how to help you. Maybe see a sleep specialist?

I have a tip for Raye: My husband also has restless leg syndrome. I would lay there and count 10 seconds between each shake of the bed. Then we got a Tempurpedic mattress and the problem is solved. This firm, memory-foam mattress, amazingly, transfers NO movement between one side of the bed and the other. Also, it's a king size mattress which helps, as well.
