Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a common neurological disorder characterized by an irresistible urge to move the legs, usually accompanied or caused by uncomfortable sensations in the legs. Symptoms are worse in the evening or at night than during the day and generally begin or worsen during periods of rest or inactivity. The chronic sleep disturbance often associated with RLS is likely due, at least in part, to the circadian nature of the symptoms. The relationship between disturbed sleep and reduced daytime functioning is well known and thus the accurate diagnosis and effective management of RLS is imperative.
不宁腿综合征（RLS）是一种常见的神经系统疾病，其特征是腿部无法控制地移动，通常伴随着腿部不适的感觉。症状在晚上或夜间比白天更严重，通常在休息或不活动期间开始或加重。与 RLS 相关的慢性睡眠障碍很可能至少部分是由于症状的昼夜节律性质。睡眠障碍与白天功能下降之间的关系是众所周知的，因此准确诊断和有效管理 RLS 是至关重要的。
