"Restless legs syndrome (RLS)
is a sleep disorder in which a person experiences unpleasant
sensations in the legs described as creeping, crawling,
tingling, pulling, or painful. These sensations usually
occur in the calf area but may be felt anywhere from the
thigh to the ankle. One or both legs may be affected; for
some people, the sensations are also felt in the arms."
