One cause of restless leg syndrome is anemia.   The patient should have her
physician check her ferritin levels in addition to her hemoglobin.    In
the past 6 months I have had 2 patients with restless legs interfering with
sleep.  Their ferritin levels(measure of iron stores) were 2 and 4 (normal
is 29-322) Within a week of supplementation with iron, their symptoms were
subsiding.   It is worth a try.
