it's because of the blood supply to your feet has been compromised, wear elastic stockings to bed,find them at Kauser medicos, start tablet Requip 0.25 mg at night, excercise your entire body and especially feet before bed time

This bizarre thing is “Restless leg syndrome” or “ Periodic limb movement disorder”, its quite common, the reasons why this happens maybe multiple, like when nerves of your legs get less food,means less blood, you have this troublesome feeling.Iron deficiency anemia correction sometimes relieves this, taking Mecobalamin which is a vitamin B12 is also helpful , this condition can be a side effect of some medication too, but in short it’s treatable, get yourself consulted by a psychiatrist.
