hi there
thanks for choosing HCM
As from your history I have come up with the diagnosis that you either have a problem of Restless leg syndrome, where there is a feeling of creepy sensation in the legs that makes difficulty in falling asleep.
OR you can have leg cramps in which you may fall asleep but because of sudden cramp and pain in leg muscles you wake up.
please try to take the following measures and see if you feel any improvement.
1. do exercise every day in the morning.
2. drink plenty of water at least 12-14 glasses each day
3. do not drink tea or coffee or any other beverage having caffeine in it.
4. take a hot bath 1 hour before bed time.
do all these for sometime, I hope this will help

kind regards
dr Fouzia
