Aug
Restless Legs Awareness Day on August 16 is a day for people to learn about a condition called Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS). RLS causes a strong urge to move your legs because they might feel itchy, tingly, or uncomfortable, especially when trying to relax or sleep. This day helps others understand what it feels like to have RLS and how it can make people really tired because it can be hard to sleep. By learning and talking about it, we can help those with RLS feel more understood and supported.
How to celebrate Restless Legs Awareness Day?
On Restless Legs Awareness Day, you can wear green clothes to show support. Draw pictures of legs with fun, wiggly lines and hang them up. Share the drawings with friends and explain why the day matters. Make green bracelets to give to friends. Create a special dance with hopping and jumping to symbolize restless legs and teach the dance to others. Spend time with family and friends doing active games, like tag or hopscotch. Talk about ways to stay healthy and ask questions if you don't understand something. End the day with a nice movie night to relax and enjoy!
