Signs it is worth a visit

Plenty of people have the odd restless evening and never need a clinic. Book a conversation when it happens regularly or is cutting into your sleep several nights a week. The same goes if it is spreading, getting stronger or starting earlier in the day.

New symptoms in pregnancy, or restless legs that come with numbness or weakness, deserve a professional's view straight away instead of a wait-and-see.

Making the visit useful

A clinician can look at your iron stores and at any medicines that might be making things worse. They can also check for other conditions that often come with restless legs.

Bring a short record to the appointment. Note when the urge tends to start, what eases it and how it is affecting your nights.

This piece is general education and is not advice for your case; it cannot tell you whether you need care. If the signs above sound like your evenings, ask.

While you wait for an appointment, the free 1-page Sleep Reset guide covers general sleep habits you can keep up in the meantime.
