Restless leg syndrome
Restless leg syndrome is a condition that causes an irresistible urge to move your legs at night. This urge can make it hard to get comfortable and fall asleep, affecting your overall rest and how you feel during the day. Some people describe sensations like tingling, pulling or creeping deep in the legs, especially in the evening or nighttime hours when at rest or trying to sleep.
Our team at TidalHealth understands how much sleep affects daily life. Untreated sleep disorders, including restless leg syndrome, can contribute to other health concerns such as high blood pressure or heart issues and increase the risk of daytime problems like fatigue, difficulty concentrating or irritability.
At TidalHealth, our sleep medicine specialists will listen to your concerns, identify potential causes and work with you on a care plan that fits your needs. We offer practical approaches to ease symptoms and improve sleep so you can feel more rested and ready for each day.
