Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a discomfort in the legs when people are sitting or lying down, especially at bedtime. People with RLS feel the constant need to stretch or move their legs, which prevents them from falling asleep. Symptoms are most likely to occur during periods of inactivity, like riding in a car or airplane, watching TV, or lying down at night to sleep. 
Medication can be helpful in the treatment of restless leg syndrome.

If you think you suffer from RLS, talk to your physician or contact the Sleep Center at St. Vincent Hospital, (920) 431-3041.
