Why does my restless leg syndrome decide to host a full-blown marathon every single midnight?

I have been dealing with restless leg syndrome for years, and honestly, it feels like my legs are throwing an underground rave while my brain is trying to shut down for the night. It starts as this weird, creeping sensation right behind my knees, and before I know it, I am doing leg stretches at three in the morning just to get a second of peace. I have tried everything from magnesium supplements to weighted blankets, and while the blankets help ground me, the sensation always finds a way to sneak back in. Is there anyone here who has found a weird hack or a specific routine that actually keeps the twitching at bay? I am curious if this is purely a chemical issue for you all or if external factors like caffeine or stress make it ten times worse. I’m just looking for a little solidarity and maybe a new trick to try before I decide to sleep standing up just to see if that works.
