"While moving, the complaints decrease, but as soon as the movement stops, the symptoms appear. This makes it almost impossible to fall asleep. The symptoms of restless legs syndrome are tremors in the legs, an irresistible urge to move them, and complaints of not being able to rest. The symptoms decrease when the person walks, but the symptoms are worse at night than during the day," the newspaper writes.
