Sleep Disorders Involving the Legs

There are a couple of syndromes involving the legs that disrupt sleep: Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) and Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD). Both conditions can cause involuntary movements or intense urges to move the legs, leading to fragmented sleep and poor rest quality. While treatments vary, one important management strategy involves improving sleep environment comfort to reduce tension and promote relaxation.

Night Air(R) Smart Zone Beds can significantly assist people coping with these disorders. With the 6-Zone model, users can adjust the foot zone independently to elevate the legs—easing circulation and reducing discomfort. Elevating the head slightly can also reduce spinal compression that may aggravate nerve sensations. Even the 2-Zone version allows independent adjustability per side, helping couples with differing needs find relief without compromise.

By creating a sleep surface that responds to your body, these beds reduce the chance of awakening due to discomfort or movement. With reduced motion transfer and silent adjustments, your bed stays supportive even through leg movements or shifts. Over time, better alignment, pressure relief, and custom comfort can help reduce the intensity or frequency of leg-related sleep disruptions, improving both nightly rest and daily energy levels.
