Q. I have suffered from restless leg syndrome all of my life, and I am over 50! My mother always told me I had “growing pains” when I was a kid, but that was clearly ridiculous by the time I reached my 20s.
When I read about putting soap under the bottom sheet, I thought it was the silliest thing I had ever heard of. Let me assure you that to my great surprise, it WORKS. I have now had five straight nights of sleep in my own bed with no walking around and no moving from one place to another to try to get comfortable. I would never have guessed I’d enjoy such pure wonderful sleep just by trying this odd remedy.
A. Putting a bar of plain soap between the bottom sheet and the mattress pad certainly seems bizarre. We have no idea how it may work, but we have heard from many happy readers that it does.
