Restless Leg Syndrome is marked by unpleasant leg sensations which cause an irresistible urge to move the legs. This sensation occurs prior to falling asleep and can range in sensations from pain, to itching, to pulling, tingling, or pricking. When the legs are moved, these sensations are relieved. It may cause involuntary leg movements during sleep and during the day. It is often accompanied by intense anxiety or depression.

Restless Leg Syndrome usually occurs in middle aged or older persons and is often worsened by stress. There is no test to detect RLS and as well there is no cure. By minimizing stress and using muscle relaxation techniques often reduce the episodes of Restless Leg Syndrome. Restless Leg Syndrome is not dangerous to the body or life threatening, and does not indicate another serious disorder. It causes discomfort and restlessness, making it difficult to get a deep restful sleep at night.
