Preventing Restless Legs Syndrome

Coffee mug

Exercise

Moderate exercise during the day, such as walking or yoga, can help with restless legs syndrome (RLS).  Avoid strenuous exercise in the evening/night as this may worsen the restless legs.

Cut down on stimulants

Avoid caffeine after 12PM.

Cut down on nicotine as it is a stimulant.

Don’t drink alcohol as this disturbs the natural sleep cycle leading to worsening RLS.
