Abstract

Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) is a disorder related to some neurological dysfunction.Inwhich an individual suffers severe impulses to shake their legs from left to right. They always experience a very discomfort sensation in their legs when theyremain still. People who are suffering from Restless Leg Syndrome have trouble sleeping because of this discomfort sensation and may experience these impulses several times during the night time. This reduces the quality of their sleep and making them feel drowsy during the day time. Restless Leg Syndrome also makes it difficult for those people who travel long distances by car or travel by air. RLS sometime becomes very stressful but with some
medicinal treatment and lifestyle changes, it is almost always treatable and curable.

Keywords: Restless leg syndrome; Impulses; Neurological dysfunction.
