Do your legs or feet twitch in a rhythmic, repetitive pattern throughout the night? You’re not alone—up to 11% of people experience this, with an even higher risk if conditions like sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome are present. While it can occur at any age, it’s rare for children. The primary cause of periodic limb movement disorder (PLMS) isn’t well understood, but secondary causes include caffeine consumption, sugary foods, alcohol, spinal cord injuries, and anemia. It’s often diagnosed through sleep studies. This video explains what PLMS is, why it happens, and how it impacts your sleep. Learn strategies such as stress relief techniques, yoga, meditation, and relaxation exercises to reduce symptoms and improve your sleep quality, helping you get the rest you need to feel refreshed. #BeWell
