Ya, AIR3k, I agree with you in that there's too much emphasis on Rx remedies to ailments... most drugs just treat the symptoms and not the cause, anyways. Giving kids ritalin before encouraging exercise and activity is the worst example of that kind of abuse in our society, I think.
But I'm pretty sure RLS is a real thing.
I'm not sure what the clinical definition of RLS is, but my gilfriend is the second woman I've known whose legs spasm uncontrollably every other night as she's entering sleep. She also complains of severe pain coming out of nowhere in her bones, and the like.
She thinks it's because because she spends most of her day on her feet in high heels. If I wasn't such a heavy sleeper, it'd probably bother me. But I am, and it really doesn't.
Tends to not happen as bad if she exercises and then stretches before going to sleep.
To the OP: Something like Yoga might be a real solution for your hubby as it encourages both proper breathing and soothes restlessness in the body.
