2. YES!

All my life. It kicks in (literally) while lying in bed.

3. I have something, but I don't think it's RLS

It's a strange tingling sensation. Feels like a thin, vibrating string in my butt and hamstrings. Drives me nuts every so often when I'm trying to sleep.

Sleep aids and antihistamines can bring it on.

6. I have it occasionally.

When it's really bad I end up sleeping on the couch so that my SO can get some sleep. It's bad enough that I snore.

9. Usually an imbalance of your chi

You might want to try some exercises that balance it.

11. Reading these responses, I don't think so.

Sometimes when I'm laying on the couch my legs feel like their going to sleep, and I get an obsessive impulse to start moving them around. Sometimes it happens when I'm in bed. Kind of the same maybe. It seems to start in my spine.
