Lifestyle
Warm Bath Before Bed
for Restless Legs Syndrome
A warm bath or shower in the hour before bed to temporarily relieve RLS sensations and ease sleep onset.
How it works
Warm water promotes peripheral vasodilation and may reduce sensorimotor excitability. The subsequent post-bath drop in core body temperature promotes sleep onset and may reduce nocturnal leg sensations.
What to watch for
Effect is temporary — typically 30–90 minutes of relief. Most useful as a pre-sleep strategy. Some individuals prefer cold-hot contrast.
