But for those living with Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), the night often begins with an overwhelming urge to move their legs, making it difficult to relax or fall asleep. “Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is often underestimated because many people mistake it for simple muscle fatigue, poor circulation, or an age-related discomfort. Repeated sleep disruption can lead to excessive daytime fatigue, poor concentration, mood disturbances, and declining work performance. Over time, poor sleep may also increase the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic health problems,” he says. Dr. Chafle says that poor sleep doesn't just make you feel tired the next day it affects almost every aspect of health.
