So far the only thing that gets me a goodnight sleep is imovane (zopiclone) but it is very addicting. I get only 10 for a month
I also take 2 gabapentin at night, naproxen 500 mg, Nature’s Bounty Sleep3 (purple tablet works best for me). It gets me to sleep & I stay asleep. Best rest ever! I suffer from spinal stenosis and use cold packs, sometimes heating pad, getting my 4th epidural inj tomorrow for a better Spring☺️
Hello @tgcorin, Welcome to Connect. I can imagine how difficult it is to sleep when you are dealing with the pain and restless leg syndrome. There are a few other discussions where you might find some suggestions from others with similar symptoms.

-- Neuropathy Pain at Night: What helps?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/night-pain-2/
-- Better Sleep with Chronic Pain?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/better-sleep-with-chronic-pain/.
The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy also has some information that might be helpful here - https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/.
Have you tried any alternative treatments to see if they might provide some relief?
