Abstract
A 45-year-old woman reports having had nightly insomnia for years. On further questioning, she reports having uncomfortable sensations in her legs when she lies down at night. She has a feeling of needing to move her legs, which is relieved only by getting up and walking around. How should this patient be evaluated and treated?Keywords
