A good night’s sleep: treatments for Restless Leg Syndrome
What is Restless Leg Syndrome?
When you retire for the night, do your legs feel as if they have a mind of their own? If your legs semi-cramp, your toes twitch, you feel a slight flex in your thigh muscle, forcing you to twitch or jerk your feet and legs, you may have Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). The symptoms start mainly at night, after going to bed. The pain, or need to move the legs, can cause sleep interruption and fatigue which may last for several days.
RLS is also considered a Sleep Disorder; the condition can be very intense and cause the loss of sleep, which in turn, contributes to exhaustion and interferes with your daily activities. RLS may also interfere with your partner’s ability to sleep. After all, who can sleep with all that movement going on?
