Marsye, take him to the dr tomorrow. It may turn out to be nothing, but you never can tell. Especially since he had surgery recently. I think it's more scary not knowing what's wrong.

Marsye, thanks, he has been gone a long time now. He was a great guy, still missed.

I had RLS as a reaction to a medication while I was pregnant. I didn't want to take it, but I was so sick that I needed it to help me hold a little food down. The symptoms are horrible and you just don't want to lay down at all. I found that not even a recliner helped. An appointment with his physician is needed.

Thanks for the replies.
This was going on long before his surgery so its not the medicine. Hes just very restless at night when he goes to bed. Hes not sick or anything and is recovering well from surgery.

Marsye, we aren't going to leave you alone until DH goes to the doctor!!!! Pretty please?

First thing the doc will tell him no matter what is no more caffeine :shock: Coffee, pop , chocolate, tea it all adds up .

My son was having issues and they told him to eat toast before bed also. He had to do the sleep study for apnea, but he didn't have it .

Also is he doing enough to tire himself out during the day, I know it sounds silly but if I don't move a lot I have a hard time sleeping .

I read the RLS and sleep apnea symptoms to him and he said he doesn't have those. Maybe I just need to whack him with a rubber hammer every night at bedtime. :lol:

:lol: Hes says its about time for his yearly physical anyway. :thumbup:

That's good to hear. Dr may have some simple suggestions to help. It's worth a try.

I have had the sleep problem for about 2 yrs. now. I can be very tired and sleepy and go to bed and I get so restless I have to get up I have gone with out sleep for 2 days and finally have to take a nerve pill to relax myself. Have talked with the Dr. about it she says as long as I can take the nerve pill and sleep it is ok. I have tried Lunesta and that is not good for me> I have a hang over. He may not be able to relax. Just a thought.
