sleep. My mother can't sleep.
When she does its only for like two hours a night.
She has problems when her feet move and she can't stop them so she has to walk around and if she sits her feet move.
She takes sleeping pills sometimes but they don't work either.
Can someone please please please help me!
I am so worried about my mom.

Sleeping pills are not usually the solution for this type of problem. There are probably several conditions that cause the legs to move like you describe. Two of them are Periodic Limb Movement, (PLM) or Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). Do a search on google and you will find info on both.
It's best that your mother see a Dr for this problem and insist on a sleep study so they can determine the best treatment and a proper diagnosis. Of course there is no way anyone on a message board can diagnose your Mom. The lack of sleep will eventually catch up with anyone. It's nice that you are worried for your Mom...more kids should be just like you. ]
I've heard about this. Suposely taking daily hot baths help[not showers]. Also drinking hot liquids like hot chocolate before going to bed can help it. No coffee though. Exercise or yoga may help with it too. She should also try another different pill, like Lunesta.
