Raising Awareness: My Relationship With Sleep

A healthy relationship with sleep is important to our health and overall well-being. But what happens when that relationship is fractured? This week, we will be raising awareness about sleep by focusing on mending that relationship, sharing personal stories, and providing resources to help those of you living with restless legs syndrome (RLS).

Are you ready to see how you can help raise awareness about sleep? Check out these easy ways below:

1. Take our polls!

This or That

Is your relationship with sleep better or worse since being diagnosed with RLS?

2. Join the conversation

How would you describe your current relationship with sleep? Has that relationship changed since being diagnosed with RLS? If so, how? Join the discussion and tell us in our forums section!

By providing your email address, you are agreeing to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.

Plus, read more about how other people living with RLS describe their relationship with sleep:

"The strange sensation in my legs as I attempted to drift into sleep. The twitching of my legs as I tried to get comfortable while tossing and turning throughout the night. That nemesis had a name too, and the name was restless legs syndrome."

"Even though I am used to frequent sleep interruptions, I am not used to the RLS deciding to show up again when I wake up well into the middle of the night."

3. Share your story

Interested in sharing more? Spread awareness of RLS by sharing about your diagnosis journey, everyday life with RLS, and ways you find support.
