Hi,

I meant how single people handle severe rls with 2-3 hrs of sleep a night, doing everyday chores (laundry, cooking, shopping, etc.). I typically need 8-9 hrs of sleep and
rls is fairly new for me.

thank you

All my medications are the same, except for Horizant.

My symptoms started about 2 weeks ago, I was put on Horizant and they disappeared for about a week and then came back with a vengence.
I would like to hear from others, how they manage their daily activities without getting enough sleep?

Hi, I'm new to rls. I have been sleep deprived for over a week getting between 2 1/2 to 4 1/2 hrs a night. I usually need 8-9 hours of sleep. I'm schedualed to see a sleep specialist in 2 weeks, but wonder how I'll manage to function till then. I'm also bipolar so depression/anxiety can come easily....
