I have trouble sleeping, it takes me an age to get to sleep and I wake frequently and rise early. For around 11 years I've suffered with Myclonas or some other unspecified twitching and RLS. I've had every test known to man including brain scans, central nervous system check and sleep studies, but nothing specific found. I put it down to stress and lifestyle as it worsens when I'm under pressure. Now what happened 11 years ago...oh yes I became a father of twin boys. Recently I need to get up a couple of times a night to urinate which compounds the situation. When it’s really bad I get up and do some exercises like touching my toes 50 times, which alleviate the problem somewhat. I stopped drinking tea / coffee after 6.00 p.m. and that made a difference (I think). I’ve also tried lots of different herbal remedies and even clonazepam, but I didn’t like that stuff. Before anyone mentions it alcohol isn’t a long term solution. I suppose I’m used to 5 hours a night on and off and will most probably be like this for the rest of my days… ![:tired:](http://www.ifsqn.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/yawn.gif)

Have you ever tried any of the foods mentioned in the article? If not, please give them a try too and let us inform your experience.
You should also give a try to following golden proven principles:
1- Daily time-bound routine of exercise especially in the prime morning. (no excuses at all!).
2- Less tea, Less coffee, No alcoholic drinks.
3- No sleeping pills. These ruin the natural sleeping system.
May God help you to get out of this problem.
