How it works
Moderate exercise improves dopaminergic function, reduces inflammation and improves sleep quality — all relevant to RLS pathophysiology. Intense late exercise may worsen symptoms.
Timing matters — exercise at least 4 hours before bedtime. Vigorous exercise close to sleep onset often worsens RLS. Yoga specifically shows promising results.
Several studies show regular moderate exercise reduces RLS severity scores. A RCT of yoga showed significant RLS symptom improvement.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
