Restless Legs Syndrome and Sleep

The video discusses two sleep disorders: Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) and Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD). RLS affects a significant portion of the population, causing an urge to move the legs, especially at night, which can disrupt sleep. PLMD involves involuntary limb movements during sleep, often without the person's awareness. RLS can be primary, with unknown causes, or secondary, linked to other conditions like iron deficiency or pregnancy. Management includes lifestyle changes, such as reducing caffeine and alcohol, and medical treatments like iron supplements and dopamine agents.
