This drove me crazy, too, AVR. But one thing that did help me, if only just some (which was WAY better than nothing) was, no matter what time it was, to get up and just "shake it off" and to WALK forcefully even if it's just to the kitchen and back a few times, which is what I would do. If you are in a prone position, it's not like it's going to go away immediately so you may as well get up for a few minutes and move those muscles. Besides, if you are in bed lying trying to sleep, you are not going to have an easy time doing so. So it doesn't hurt to try it during the misery! I would pretty much "MARCH," as if going off to war, stomping my feet, because it drove me nuts! Marching and doing it with some strength helped me get to sleep. I didn't do it but a few minutes. The muscles just feel like Jello and I just tried to do anything to help them. So I found that I had to apply pressure when I got up to move around, getting my muscles to feel better. Then I would lie back down. If it continued, I would do it again. I found it somewhat helpful.
