The feeling of ‘creepy-crawlies’ or tingling sensations on your extremities (usually the legs) during the night is the most commonly reported symptom of PLMS. This sensation can be enough to prevent the onset of sleep or even wake you from a sound sleep. It can also cause you to kick your legs or jerk your arms. This disruption of sleep leaves you tired and not able to concentrate on your day-to-day activities.
