You’ve finally settled into bed after a long day, ready to rest—but as soon as you get comfortable, your legs start to tingle, twitch, or ache. The urge to move them is impossible to ignore, and sleep slips farther away. If this sounds familiar, you may be experiencing restless legs syndrome (RLS), a surprisingly common sleep disruption during pregnancy.
Pregnancy is a time of incredible change—physically, emotionally, and hormonally. One of the most common experiences people notice is how their energy levels and sleep patterns shift across trimesters. From the overwhelming fatigue of early pregnancy to the restless nights of the third trimester, understanding what’s happening can make the journey a little easier.
