Restless Legs Syndrome

Restless legs syndrome is also associated with involuntary jerking of the legs and arms, known as periodic limb movements in sleep (PLMS). It typically happens in the evening or night time hours when you're sitting or lying down. Moving eases, the unpleasant feeling temporarily. Restless legs syndrome, now known as restless legs syndrome/Willis-Ekbom disease (RLS/WED), can begin at any age and generally worsens as you age. It can disrupt sleep, which interferes with daily activities. It affects up to 1 in 10 people at some time during their life.
