I also have sleep apnea most likely but also clench & grind my teeth and have restless legs. I sleep through with the help of magnesium capsules. But, nit a restful sleep so probably why I’m exhausted every day. 🙀😵‍💫

@sharing I’m really surprised you get to sleep at all! Do you use a CPAP for the sleep apnea? And a mouth guard for your grinding teeth? Sometimes I find that getting organized for bed wakes me up and then i really can’t sleep!
What have your doctors advised on your sleeplessness?

I wear a mouth guard as well with my Cpap and sleep well. Have you had your sleep apnea evaluated? That could be a cause for the restless legs. If you have sleep apnea, you could be moving your legs upon arousals from apnea that you may not be aware of. If you get the apnea fixed it could take care of the leg issues, too. If you haven't been evaluated, it might be worth looking into.
