Consultation: Restless leg syndrome is one of the parasomnias common in poor sleep. Consult with a professional (physician or dentist) trained in sleep medicine. You may have a sleep related breathing disorder that can be treated with a CPAP machine or an oral appliance or both.

Current classes of medications include dopaminergics, opiates, benzodiazepines, ; antiepileptics.
