Cause of Restless Leg Syndrome

RLS has been quite the mystery disease, and so has its cause. Perhaps, the cause is a combination of an environmental enabler and genetic predisposition. Research done by Harvard University found that 40% of the people tested had some family members with this condition.
Oftentimes, it starts small but gets worse after some time. Most of the time, people know that they have this condition. Nonetheless, this disease worsens the more you remain rested and can swiftly affect your sleep. If it is not treated, it can result in extreme fatigue and feeling down during the day.
