Though my other problem is clearly that I haven't exercised consistently since October. I biked like crazy this past spring and summer and lost nearly 30lbs and was sleeping like a rock, but I hate exercise and love biking so that means I've been a real slackass all fall and winter and am suffering for it,

If you love biking, get a recumbent bike. The landscape is probably not going to be as interesting, but it will keep you moving. That's what I do anyway.

I had sleep problems about 15 years ago. I was drinking two coffees in the morning and two in the afternoon. My doctor suggested dropping the afternoon joes. I thought he was kidding, but it worked like a charm. Since then, and except for some occasional "busy-brain syndrome" nights, I've been falling asleep pretty quickly and sleeping like a baby.

Anyone have restless leg syndrome? lol A group of us vball people used to call it "happy feet" back before they had a real name for it. If it hit you at night, lookout, no sleep for you!!

I generally never had any problems until my adult life became a roiling stresspot of burning incendiary hellfire. :lol:

I do quite like biking, but I'm gonna stick to my normal bike for a couple reasons... 1. I just got it and my wife would eat my head if I suggested I was gonna go buy another, and 2. I bike at night well past dark so the idea of being down low isn't appealing... though it WOULD give me an excuse to buy MORE lights. :lol:

Though actually I be the recumbant would be easier on my back...

YES. That is the root of all evil.

I've found when I get it that if I just do something REALLY strenuous with my legs for a bit it makes it go away.

LOL Thank god someone else knows what I'm talking about!! It is the worst thing ever!! You just have to keep moving your leg!! I used to try to fight it...lol I'd try to lay still. It would eventually win and I would have to move. OMG...I have to stop talking about it. :lmao:

I find repeatedly stabbing yourself in the eye with a pencil distracts you from the problem.
