Why Does Restless Legs Syndrome Get Worse At Night? - Sleep Wellness Workshop

Why Does Restless Legs Syndrome Get Worse At Night? Have you ever wondered why Restless Legs Syndrome symptoms tend to get worse at night? In this informative video, we'll explain the reasons behind this common sleep disorder's nighttime flare-ups. We'll start by discussing how our body's internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm, influences chemical levels in the brain, particularly dopamine, which plays a key role in controlling movement. We'll explore how natural drops in dopamine production during the evening can make symptoms more noticeable.

Next, we'll look at how decreased daytime activity and the quietness of night can heighten awareness of uncomfortable sensations in the legs. We'll also cover how increased tiredness and a more sensitive nervous system can intensify symptoms, creating a cycle that affects sleep quality. Additionally, we'll examine other factors like low iron levels, pregnancy, kidney disease, and certain medications that can contribute to worsening symptoms at night.

Understanding these causes can help you manage your symptoms more effectively. Simple strategies like maintaining a regular sleep routine, avoiding caffeine and alcohol in the evening, and doing gentle stretches or warm baths before bed can make a difference. If iron deficiency is involved, consulting a healthcare professional for treatment options is recommended. Join us for this helpful discussion and learn how small lifestyle changes can improve your sleep and overall well-being.
