RLS is a sensorimotor disorder that may cause considerable discomfort to patients in the waking hours and may have a profound impact on sleep. In severe cases the associated sleep deficit may have a detrimental effect on daytime work, social activities and general well being. In the worst cases sleep deprivation and the inability to tolerate certain activities (such as sitting for long periods at a desk) can lead to job loss, and relationship problems. Most commonly the legs alone are affected but the upper limbs may also be involved.
