Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is more than just a nuisance, it’s a neurological condition that can significantly impact your quality of life and sleep. If you’re struggling with restless legs at night, leg muscle twitching, or that constant urge to move, you’ll know how difficult it can be to fully relax.

 


What is Restless Leg Syndrome?

Restless Leg Syndrome, also known as RLS, is a neurological disorder that causes an uncontrollable urge to move the legs. This is often paired with uncomfortable sensations such as tingling, crawling, or itching.

Many people also experience leg muscle twitching at night, which can make it even harder to settle and fall asleep.

Symptoms typically worsen during rest, especially in the evening, making sleep disruption one of the most common complaints.
