Es uno de los motivos más habituales en la interrupción del sueño. ¿Cuáles son las causas y qué acciones se deben tener en cuenta para un buen descanso?

¿En qué consiste?

El trastorno se caracteriza por una necesidad prácticamente irresistible de mover las piernas. El síndrome suele producirse cuando la persona está sentada o recostada.

¿Cuáles son las causas?

Generalmente, empeora con el paso de la edad. Si bien las causas no se conocen puede agravarse con el embarazo, estados de nerviosismo y el estrés de la vida cotidiana.

Los baños relajantes antes de dormir, el té de tilo, ejercicios de estiramiento antes de acostarse y reducir el consumo de alcohol y de cafeína pueden ayudar a evitar los movimientos involuntarios.

Además, los especialistas recomiendan una interconsulta con un neurólogo para que analice el por qué del síndrome.

La importancia del buen descanso

El sueño es fundamental como pilar de la buena salud y calidad de vida. Dormir mal genera somnolencia diurna y el aumento del riesgo de desarrollar problemas de salud.
