We have talked several times about joint and muscle pain, leg cramps and restless legs syndrome. These are conditions whose symptoms worsen during the night hours and can prevent us from sleeping.

Restless legs syndrome is a neurological disorder that causes unpleasant sensations in the legs, especially when the person is at rest. The cause of the disorder is not known, but conditions such as kidney failure, alcohol abuse, and a certain type of medication have been linked to it.

Leg cramps are also a common problem at night. In this regard, a warm bath before bed and drinking plenty of water can prevent both ailments.
