  • Strong urges to move the legs have sparked strong urges; uncomfortable or uncomfortable sensations often accompany the urges
  • If you're active or inactive, the symptoms get worse; they're especially noticeable when trying to sleep
  • However, walking, stretching, walking, and walking all seem to get better
