Ok, so I don't know if i have RLS. I don't have pins and needles, or twitching. I just have this urge to move, stretch, run a mile, do SOMETHING active when I lay down at night. I can't get rid of it. Stretching helps but only for a minute or two. During the night it actually wakes me up CONSTANTLY and I have to draw my legs all the way up to my chest to get some relief and stretch them out. I have found that Ambien works to alleviate the symptoms some but im not sure why.

I get plenty of exercise. Not only do I go to the gym but I also waitress 8-12 hours on a typical workday and am constantly running or walking on the job. I do notice though that on my days off when I am less active it does get worse.

What does everyone think?
