What is restless legs syndrome (RLS)?
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a recognized disorder that can interfere with resting or falling asleep. Over 10 million people in the United States are affected by this disorder. If you have restless legs syndrome, a typical night might go like this: You lie down in bed, ready to go to sleep, and just as your body begins to relax, an uncomfortable leg sensations begins to overwhelm your legs. You try to ignore the crawling, tingling, or itching in your legs, hoping it will go away, but it only gets worse. You toss and turn for a while, but eventually the urge to move is too much. You get out of bed to stretch and pace the floor and, for a moment, you find relief. But when you lie down again, the restless sensations in your legs start all over again. Common descriptions include annoying sensations in the legs such as creeping, crawling, tingling, burning, itching or twitching. People have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Family members may suffer from the same symptoms. Spouses often complain of kicking or twitching at night. Sufferers are often very unrested following a bout of RLS. People report these symptoms to be worse at night, when at rest, driving, on a plane, in a theatre or just relaxing.
It can be difficult to get a good night’s sleep when the feeling of blankets on your legs is even too much to handle. The inability to rest or relax at any time of the day or the night can be stressful and it can also be coupled with Periodic Limb Movement Disorder which is the involuntary rhythmic and repetitive movement of the legs.
