This isn’t too much to worry about but of course but it is somewhat not-normal. It’s a condition that causes an uncontrollable urge to move your legs because of an uncomfortable sensation in your body.

Moving your legs frequently at a certain pace can temporarily rid you of the uneasiness your mind or body is feeling at that time but it’s better to overcome this restless leg syndrome before it worsens.

It typically happens when you’re either lying down on your bed at night or sitting down and you think you’re peaceful. But your thoughts keep you surrounded in despair and somewhat other uncomfortable situations. This results in you moving and shaking your legs uncontrollably.

Scientists reveal that it takes only three days to shun or even build a habit. But that doesn’t mean you can’t get rid of this restless leg syndrome just because you’re over 3 days now.

If you are relieved by moving your legs, walking up and down the hall for no reason, pacing, stretching, or jiggling your legs, you definitely have resting leg syndrome. Doing all of that causes the sensation in your legs to lessen down.

c) Evening discomfort

RLS’s biggest symptom is your uneasiness and discomfort in the evening. Although it happens on both of your legs, this happens usually in one leg, in most people. There haven’t been recorded any arm sensations during this so this is why it’s called resting leg syndrome.
