You definitely aren't the only member here suffering from bouts of RLS. It's actually quite a common cause of insomnia, yet it's rarely spoken about.
I made a few posts about RLS over on the blog that may be of interest:

Hopefully this helps.
By the way, I moved this post to its own discussion topic so it will get more attention.

That doesn't surprise me in the least. Check out a recent blog post I wrote:

I did find a low cost brainwave sleep cd on the internet so I think I will leave the CPAP off a few nights and use my regular ear buds to see what happens.
Regular earbuds should work just fine. No need to splash out for anything fancy.
Be careful with the low cost stuff you find floating around on the internet – many rely on binaural beats, which is an older technology and less effective than modern sessions that rely on isochronic tones.
Also, make sure any product you buy comes with a money back guarantee.

Hey Lisa
Great questions – there's a lot of
crapsuspect advice and information out there.I haven't published anything that's been peer reviewed so I don't want to specifically refer you to my own work. That being said, every single blog post I write over at the Insomnia Land blog contains a source link.
Therefore, any time I talk about or reference a study, click the source link to see where I'm getting my information from. Sometimes it'll be a newspaper but I always try to link to the source of the research itself whenever possible.
You may also want to take a look at the SLEEP Journal: http://www.journalsleep.org/
It's a great (and reputable) resource.
Is there something in particular you're keen to know more about?

Hello, fellow Oregonian! I completely agree – and that is why I started Insomnia Land in the first place. At least here, there is one place in the world where insomnia is taken seriously and isn't ignored.

Don't feel silly – that's exactly the way we prefer to see things done in Insomnia Land. New member = New introduction = New topic.
You did good!

I have – and it's certainly very interesting.

As for hypnosis, it's not something I come across frequently in my research.
That being said, I'll put this question out in the next insomniac bulletin and we'll see if any other members chime in with their experiences.

Welcome to Insomnia Land, Brayan – it's great to have you as a member.
Have you managed to figure out what triggered your sleeping problems? You seem to know roughly when your troubles with sleep began, so I wonder if you're able to trace back a potential cause?
What's your typical sleep routine like these days?

You know you need more sleep when you put the car in drive instead of reverse when trying to back out of the garage.
