Doing this can help you cope with cramps and restless leg syndrome, both of which can interfere with healthy sleep patterns. Restless leg syndrome occurs when a person feels agitation or tension in their legs while relaxing. This tension can become searing pain with movement.

There is no one cause, but cramping can be worsened by overzealous exercise, dehydration, or dietary deficiencies. The condition is most commonly seen in alcoholics, pregnant women, and diabetics.

Tons of people with restless leg syndrome find relief from putting a simple bar of soap under their sheets. 42% of those who tried it reported good results. It seems bizarre, but medical professionals hypothesize that the magnesium in soap is released over time and eases cramping. Magnesium is a common treatment for athletes experiencing muscle pains.
 

Many users have successfully used this method. One left the following comment:

"I have a pinched nerve in my lower back. I'm heavyweight, so if I walk much, I'm in major pain. The strongest pain meds I choose to take are BC Powders. Someone told me to put a bar of Ivory in my bed. I woke up earlier than normal with NO pain in my lower back. I'm going to have a new bed partner, my Ivory soap."

Despite sounding quirky, this trick is the key to avoiding body-damaging pain meds while still getting a good night's sleep.
 

If you struggle with aches once you're in bed, try putting a bar of soap under the sheets and be sure to report back with your results. Also make sure everyone you know sees this!
