Why does my restless leg syndrome always kick in exactly when the Netflix credits roll?

Does anyone else find it cruelly ironic that my legs decide to run a marathon the exact moment I finally settle into the couch? I have been struggling with RLS for years, but lately, the 'creepy-crawly' sensation under my shins is becoming a nightly performance piece. I have tried magnesium glycinate, compression socks, and even those bizarre ice packs that make my toes go numb, but nothing seems to quiet the nervous energy once it starts. My partner thinks I just need to 'relax,' but they have no idea that it feels like my nervous system is literally vibrating out of my skin. I am genuinely curious if anyone has found a non-medication hack that actually works, or if I am destined to pace my living room until 3 AM for the rest of my life. Is it just stress, or is my body fundamentally confused about the concept of nighttime?
