Restless leg syndrome is a name of sensation or urge in which you want to keep your legs moving. Usually, restless leg syndrome hits at night because at day you are already moving. At night you will usually throw your legs on the bed here and there. You will feel discomforts in your legs which will eventually want you to keep your legs moving.
People affected with restless leg syndrome usually have difficulty in good night sleep. The feeling which actually causes this discomfort is usually a sensation of crawling in legs, middle or pin-like sensation or mild pain in the legs. People use weighted blankets in order to get good night sleep.
Restless leg syndrome causes severe chronic sleep deprivation which is dangerous for fibromyalgia patients health. Having not good sleep also causes many other health issues like high blood pressure, Depression, Anxiety and many other conditions.
