Luckily the all nighter only happens rarely but who else reckons it's something to do with the moon??? If this is the case there's nothing we can do but grin and bear it!!!

    I posted this question some time ago as I believe it does affect the restless legs.

    Hi Barbara

    I used to spend all night walking around the house.   I started changing my diet and now sleep for 8 hours a night most nights,   Not quite perfect but getting close.   I am currently eating according to a FODMAP diet and excluding caffeine, lactose, gluten and 99% alcohol.   It probably doesn't work for everyone but if it suits you it will be terrific.   I have also heard of someone who has adopted a vegan diet and it has disappeared their symptoms.   In some people diet works so please try it.

    It's cheap and has no side effects other than a bit of boredom at meal times.   I happily trade freedom of diet for sleep!!!!

    If you want more information just let me know.

    Cheers

    Graham
