RLS is a neural problem, basicly it is nerves misfiring and telling muscles to contract when there is no reason for it. A doctor can prescribe medication to help that problem. I have the same thing. They did two sleep studies on me where they monitored me through the night. They found that about every hour and a half or so my right leg would begin kicking for no reason and wake me up.
