How does restless leg syndrome affect sleep quality and daily life?

Restless leg syndrome (RLS) is a condition where people feel an uncomfortable urge to move their legs, especially at night. This can make it hard to fall asleep or stay asleep, leading to poor sleep quality.

How RLS Affects Sleep:

• Difficulty Falling Asleep: The urge to move the legs can prevent people from falling asleep easily.
• Frequent Awakenings: People with RLS might wake up often during the night, making them feel tired the next day.

Impact on Daily Life:

• Daytime Sleepiness: Not getting enough sleep can make people feel very fatigued during the day.
• Reduced Quality of Life: Feeling tired can make it hard to do daily activities, like working or playing.

RLS can make life difficult, but understanding the condition can help manage its effects. For more information on mental health support, visit 988lifeline.org.
