General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

In addition to RLS medicines, non-pharmacological measures are very important-

1) Good sleep hygiene

2) Avoid hot bath immediately before sleep

3) Avoid tea/coffee, till a couple of hours before sleep

4) Physical exercise every day, but not at night time.

These non-pharmacological measures are really crucial.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
