Lifestyle
Regular Moderate Exercise
for Restless Legs Syndrome
Daily moderate exercise — walking, yoga, swimming — but avoiding intense exercise close to bedtime which can worsen RLS.
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.
What to watch for
Timing matters — exercise at least 4 hours before bedtime. Vigorous exercise close to sleep onset often worsens RLS. Yoga specifically shows promising results.
