Is this worse when lying in bed at night and trying to sleep? Do any of your limbs jerk uncontrollably at times without your consent?

RLS has a circadian pattern to it, occurs exclusively in the lower extremities, and often has a sensory (burning, itching, stinging, etc.) component to it.

Akathesia is the overwhelming urge to move some or all the body without a sensory component, circadian pattern, or exclusivity to the legs.
