Restless-Legs-Syndrom

“Still I could not force myself to go to bed, dreading not so much insomnia as ... the curious affection called anxietas tibiarum, a painful condition of unrest, an excruciating increase of muscular sense, which leads to a continual change in the position of one's limbs”

Vladimir Nabokov (Speak, Memory; 1966)
