Why does my restless leg syndrome feel like an electric buzz beneath my skin nightly?

I have been dealing with restless leg syndrome for nearly a decade now, and it is honestly exhausting in ways people without it don't grasp. Every night, right as I try to drift off, it feels like there is an incessant, low-voltage electric buzz vibrating deep inside my calves. I’ve tried the usual iron supplements, magnesium sprays, and even nightly yoga routines, but the crawling sensation is persistent. It makes me wonder if this is purely a neurological misfire or if there is some hidden dietary trigger I am completely overlooking. Has anyone else found a non-pharmaceutical way to quiet the nerves, or are we just resigned to constant motion until sunrise? I would love to hear if anyone has successfully linked their RLS to specific activities or habits during the day that seem to make it worse, because I am desperate for a full night of stillness.
