What Causes Constant Blinking Of Eye And Movement Of Leg During Sleep?
Hi, as you can see I am having trouble sleeping as usual. I ve been thinking about it a lot lately. My eyes constantly blink while I am trying to sleep, I know it, and my partner has always noticed it. My legs will constantly move. Without my thinking, if I stay still they just will. I used to have depression many years ago, I am not sure if this affected it, but I ve had trouble sleeping for as long as I can remember. I m 20 years old, male. I ve been prescribed medicine for ADHD, as it s a threat to my life when I am driving I ve been told; however, I never got around to picking it up or ever trying the medicine. Is this Insomnia, restless leg syndrome? What are your thoughts, Thanks I m terribly sorry. I am an extremely broke college student, and I hadn t realized I would be charged. ( I should have know better.. ) Sorry to waste your time, I hope you have a goodnight.
