I have this issue often. I know if I scratch, it will wake me up and take longer to sleep because of my body movement. If I don’t scratch, my mind only focuses on the itch. Sometimes I’ll wait 5 minutes for the scratch to go away and then I just cave and start scratching any minor itch I have on my body. Has anyone just not moved and let the itch subside or does everyone scratch?
As someone who suffered from restless leg for more than ten years before the doctors had medications to help, I can tell you that it doesn’t matter which answer you pick, you’re going to be up all night.
