I had restless legs syndrome. My (herbalist) wife diagnosed it as a magnesium deficiency. There are a variety of reasons why habitants of western society can be magnesium deficient, which I don't have time to go into here. Rather than waste time with potentially ineffective dietary supplements, the easiest way to get more magnesium is with a bath of Epsom Salts, which is actually just magnesium phosphate. Run a very hot bath with two cups of epsom salts diluted in it, and plenty of it gets absorbed through your skin. The first day I tried this, I had the best night's sleep in years! So in my case, I think her diagnosis was correct, and I took the baths every second night until I felt completely better and my sleeping patterns were back to normal. (My coding concentration improved too.) ps. If you don't have a full-sized bath tub you can use a bucket and just bathe your feet, though I imagine you won't absorb as much this way. Just make it hot.
