There wasn't much sleeping happening in The Big Bed last night. Linda was tired all right, and she even read for 20 minutes before she turned the light off. On nights when she teaches late, her body is craving rest, and she even feels sleepy. Her muscles are a different story. They do this little jumpy, twitchy thing that keeps her awake. The only way she can describe it is that the twitches feel like little fireworks going off in the muscles. The zaps are mainly in her legs, but sometimes go up her back too. Hot baths help, but not much. Massages really help, but she doesn't have a therapist on call. The fireworks are not really painful, just annoying and it won't let her sleep. She tried counting my little snores to help her fall asleep. She played a game that she wasn't allowed to move her legs one little bit, no matter how much they twitched. Finally, sometime during the wee-hours of the morning, she did fall asleep only to be awakened by the annoying cricket alarm at 6:45. There isn't anytime in her day for a nap either. Dr. Google said it could be restless leg syndrome. When we first saw this tee-shirt, we thought it was pedicure-atric, (like when Linda gets her toes painted) that causes restless leg syndrome.
