Restless leg syndrome is a neurological condition where an individual with RLS has an irresistible urge to move to move their legs due to uncomfortable sensations experienced. The symptoms of restless leg syndrome occur mostly during longer periods of rest, usually while the person is sleeping. For individuals who experience RLS, the longer the period of rest, the more intense the symptoms of restless leg syndrome become. Since restless legs syndrome usually occurs while RLS sufferers are in bed, this can cause nightly losses of good rest as a result of the need to move around and induce motor activity where relief from RLS is experienced. Many individuals who experience restless leg syndrome also experience periodic limb movements of sleep, or PLMS, where the person experiences periodic limb movements lasting up to 10 seconds every 20-30 seconds spontaneously throughout the night.
