Question 1

why am i so restless and always moving around at night at bedtime?

Depends: You may have other factors in play such as sleeping too much during the day and/or too much caffeine intake during the day or too close to bed. Possibly anxiety is a factor as well. It would depend on these and perhaps other factors.

Question 3

how do you cope with feelings of restlessness and urges to keep moving?

Accepted Answer

See below...: That is how psyche talks to us... Through emotions & urges... ;) listen to it... Be intrigued by it... Engage these feelings... What do u think/feel/fear would happen if u did not keep moving? Are u wishing/restless for some changes to happen in ur life? Psychotherapy is a good place for such exploration... Also, i would get into eft/tapping.... Look it up at www.Eftuniverse.Com
wishing u well! :).

Question 4

every moment is constant restlessness, i can't sit still or stop moving. i am always uncomfortable. i can't enjoy anything for 5 seconds. what cause?

Accepted Answer

Can be meds: Based on your profile info I see your meds of Seroquel (quetiapine) and Brintellex which can cause akathesia which is a type of restlessness.  Seroquel (quetiapine) could cause poor concentration. Talk to your prescriber about side effects vs symptoms.  Which occurred first, the meds or the restlessness?

Restless legs: Has she had any blood work, such as testing for anemia? I recommend starting with her primary care doctor for an examination.

Question 8

constantly moving my tongue against my bottom teeth (causing pain and canker), have to do it. feel strange irritable and restless. neurological?

Accepted Answer

Occlusal guard: If you are constantly running your tongue across your teeth see if your dentist will make you a tray to cover your teeth.  Invisalign trays are very smooth and you most likely won't get sores on your tongue.  Habits are hard to break but this may help to keep your tongue from getting so sore.  Best of luck!

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Depends: Some pcps can manage sleep disorders quite well. Ask for a referal from the place you had the sleep study performed. They should lead you in the right direction.

Question 10

why do i get restless at bedtime?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Medical conditions, emotional or stress problems, life-style schedules, pregnancy or menopause, etc. Are possible. Even good things like exercise (too late in the day) can do it. Too large a meal too late can, and on and on. Troubling emotional associations from the past about bedtime too. Maybe a therapist can help you untangle it so you can sleep well.
