Medical News Today -- (http://www.rlsunderthecovers.com) brings together leading medical experts in the field of Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) who have undertaken to explain key facts and symptoms of this condition, which affects people’s sleep pattern, their ability to perform tasks which require longer periods of immobility, and negatively impacts patients’ quality of life. This educational tool, consisting of contributions from renowned RLS experts dedicated to research and treatment of this neurological disorder and contributions of patients affected by the condition, is the result of a joint initiative between Boehringer Ingelheim and the World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM). The website is launched today on World Sleep Day and will hopefully help to improve recognition of this serious condition which is one of the most common causes of sleep disturbance.
