Restless legs syndrome (RLS) causes unpleasant sensations in the legs. As a result, people with this condition experience a strong desire to move their legs, and this seems to help reduce or eliminate the uncomfortable sensations. This condition is experienced most in the evening, and many of its symptoms are associated with the consequences of having difficulty getting enough sleep.

Current estimates suggest that 5%-10% of adults suffer from RLS, with the true percentage possibly higher due to underdiagnosis of the condition. Many people with RLS suffer not only physically, but also emotionally due to the toll it takes on their overall life. This Web site is meant to be a resource providing RLS awareness and information.
