We've just celebrated eid, and for the last two days and nights I have been chasing my 19 month old daughter around parks and halls, eating lots of sweets, drinking arabic coffee and dancing. I'm also heavily pregnant.
THE LAST TWO NIGHTS- DEEP, BEAUTIFUL SLEEP AND NO RLS :0
Obviously I can't do this every day (can hardly walk this morning) but perhaps there is something to be said for the exercise at night thing, which I see has been helpful for others here.
I also thought I could try to inject some of that holiday enthusiasm into my daily life instead of sitting down on my butt at the first sign of sore feet and complaining:)

That's great that you've gotten good sleep the last couple nights!
Is eid the end of Ramadan? Is that a celebration to mark the end of the fasting? And being pregnant and all, did you still have to fast?
I guess you'll just have to keep up the celebrating and running around until you're exhausted. I know I sleep better when I get a lot of exercise.

Hi Susan
Yes it is the end of Ramadan No, I didn't fast due to pregnancy and iron deficiency.
I tried ironing myself out again yesterday LOL and yes I slept better but RLS back again- only one time badly during the night so not all night or multiple "attacks". It started in the car on the way home last night actually- I hate that, you just can't move around enough to soothe it.
