Sounds rather like periodic limb movement disorder, which is to restless legs syndrome what a bolt of lightning is to a mild electric current. People kick themselves out of bed with it.

I was diagnosed with PLMD after a sleep test, which brought to light a couple of other sleep disorders as well. There are various drugs which deal with it, and which are more or less effective. I went through two or three before finding one which works properly - a very old epilepsy drug, a low dose of which is remarkably effective.

Good luck, anon - if you can get your GP to order a sleep test, it's your best bet to crack this nut. Poor sleep is miserable, so I hope you get it sorted!

Thank you for bringing PLMB to my awareness! I will definitely look into it. And talk to my GP about a sleep test.

I'm glad you found a treatment that works for you. It's horrible to hear people talk about how they've had to live with these sorts of sleep disturbances for years and years. I'm not panicking for myself, yet, because I'm pretty sure if nothing else, I can stop exercising and it'll go away. But I'd rather it not come to that.

Thanks again for your suggestions. :)
