It seems like we all have a customized bedtime ritual. Mine includes Unisom every night, the rx ones wrecked my days more than the fatigue. I do my Zanaflex, then use a percussion massager on my thighs which helps the foot/calf spasms settle down, my heels go over the edge of the foot of the bed which helps keep them relaxed; and I must have my feather pillow to keep my head from rolling to the side because of vertigo. I stick my hands flat under my hips to hold them still and open. I rarely wake in the night but I do wake each morning to find myself in the traditional fetal position.

For me, the getting to sleep is the hardest part and I find that my window of opportunity is about 30 minutes after the ritual. If I ignore it, it will be a long night.
