coffee

[toddtst]

I've had success with drinking coffee before bedtime with RLS. that just goes contrary to all logic. I've been doing some research on caffeine and found that it regulates certain neurotransmitters and increases dopamine levels. this coming from someone with extreme to severe RLS and currently taking meripex to help. I have found I can decrease my meripex by doing the above.........again, flies in the face of all logic

He said it is contrary to logic!!!!!!No one is the same so it may work for some people. If I drink coffee I get very sick mentally and physically but some people feel better after a cup of coffee.

Here is a big question!!???  RLS with the issue as it is causes!!!???? What?? Insomnia!! Correct? I know of no one who has not said the same, up/down all night moving arms, legs...trying for relief. So how will drinking coffee work?? Are you not up all night now because of caffeine? Personally if I drink caffeine just before bed, I can be assured of no sleep. RLS is I believe classified as a sleep disorder.  So very curious if now that RLS stopped are you still awake!!
