About
A neurological condition causing uncomfortable sensations in the legs and an irresistible urge to move them, typically worse at night and interfering with sleep.
What it feels like
Irresistible urge to move the legs, especially at rest or in the evening
Uncomfortable sensations in the legs — crawling, tingling, aching, or burning
Symptoms relieved temporarily by movement
Symptoms worse in the evening and at night
Involuntary leg jerking during sleep (periodic limb movements)
When to get help
See a doctor if RLS is affecting your sleep or daily life. An iron blood test is recommended before starting medication, as low iron is a common and correctable cause — particularly important in pregnancy.
