I have it, but I don't know if I can explain the feeling to you. It's like you can't keep your legs still. You have to move them constantly (at the time they are bothering you ) which is when you try to relax. You have to move them or stretch them or rub them. It is a miserable feeling. Mine was diagnosed with a sleep study. You can't sleep well or relax.

You have a strong urge to move your legs which you may not be able to resist. The need to move is often accompanied by uncomfortable sensations. Some words used to describe these sensations include:creeping, itching, pulling, creepy-crawly, tugging orgnawing.
Your RLS symptoms start or become worse when you are resting. The longer you are resting, the greater the chance the symptoms will occur and the more severe they are likely to be.
Your RLS symptoms get better when you move your legs. The relief can be complete or only partial but generally starts very soon after starting an activity. Relief persists as long as the motor activity continues.
Your RLS symptoms are worse in the evening especially when you are lying down. Activities that bother you at night do not bother you during the day.

Go to a neurlogist who specializes in sleep disorders, they will end up running a sleep study.. and then diagnose you.

I have it too. It is really frustrating at times. I find it comes and goes. I dont experience it every single night.

Do you kick your leg around while you sleep?
