Magnesium at bedtime, I find the fizzy soluble one works well.

I had to stop a magnesium supplement as it did strange things to me, and not just my bowels.  I suspect I didn't really need it and my body reacted to it.

Bananas work for me too.  If I run out of them my legs take on a life of their own, especially at night  :bunny:

How about dried banana to see if that would work?

Oh I used to love those dried banana chips until I chipped a tooth with one and set off my TMJ  :(

Lots of info and advice on this site https://rls-uk.org/  There are medications you can have if the syndrome is really getting you down.  It's always worth getting your iron levels checked too as low iron can cause RLS
