George
George is 67. He visits his physician with a primary complaint of difficulty sleeping. George complains of being uncomfortable around bedtime; he finds it difficult to control the urge to get up and move his legs. If he does not move, the sensations become unbearable. He thinks this problem makes him take longer to get to sleep and that it results in his feeling tired the next day.

After examining George and discussing his symptoms, the doctor diagnoses George with primary Restless Legs Syndrome.
