Oh I feel you! I get this like clockwork at 9pm every night and keeps me from sleeping!! I’ve found stretching your calves really helps, getting my husband to try and massage my legs/calves too and if that doesn’t work a hot bath or hot water bottle x

I've recently tried a magnesium joint spray which has helped, it would keep me up for hours in the night and everytime I woke up it would start again, last few nights I've been able to go back to sleep no problem

I’ve been getting this too.. sometimes my legs actually kick out and twitch. It’s happened in my arm at times too. Makes me want to cry when it keeps me awake, I’m so tired and can’t control it. Just trying to get the right balance and not be over active in the day. Having a hot bath and trying to get to bed earlier has sort of helped 😅 xx
