Bed Partner

Do you sleep with a partner at night or have you had to sleep apart due to RLS?

  1. My RLS is Severe and is causing me and my partner to argue I can't seem to control my urge to move, I've been prescribed Quinine, but I've been diagnosed with Paranoid Skitsophrenia so I have to take antipsychotics daily so I'm in a catch 22 please can someone help

    1. Hi . I replied to you in the forum you created, but I hope you get more responses here. The suggestions I made involve staying in the same bedroom, but separate bedrooms are also an option if you are both okay with that. Lots of couples have separate bedrooms simply because they prefer it, but they don't talk about it because they worry people won't understand. It's neither abnormal nor unhealthy.

  2. I have slept alone.for 10 years. I can't stand having anything near my legs.

    1. It sucks when just close proximity to our legs is enough to trigger RLS

  3. my uncle and aunt had separate bedrooms because of his RLS and he would wear sheets out. I have severe RLS but my husband and I sleep together.

    1. Glad to hear that you and your hubby are still able to sleep in the same bed together. It's unfortunate your Aunt and Uncle had to have different bedrooms. I can't imagine wearing out bedsheets.

  4. We have a spare bed for situations when my RLS is really bad or when one of us is bothered by the other one snoring.

    1. , that is a great idea! Cheers, Dawn (Team Member)
