My boyfriend has recently started having leg spasms as he is falling to sleep. he used to get them occaisionally, but recently it has got worse. They start as soon as he drifts off, and he kicks his legs every couple of minutes.. any ideas?thanks.

restless leg syndrome or some sort of neurose. Help him balance his diet to include more food-based electrolytes, I heard that helps sometimes.
