Weird feeling in my legs, and some times my entire being, as I'm trying to get to sleep.

I've looked up these sensations before, and the only thing Doctor Google comes up with is restless leg syndrome, but that's not what it is. I get these sensations in my legs, like when you're sitting on a lounge floating chair in the pool and the leg portion is slightly deflated so your legs sorta bob slightly unevenly with the water; and the sensations themselves come in 'waves' maybe once a minute or so. When I move then does the sensation go away? Yeah. When I pull my legs up so my feet are on my bed and my knees are bent does that help? yeah- but it's uncomfortable to fall asleep like that. But the difference between the sensations and RLS is that mine only happens once or twice a month, if even.

Has anyone had this feeling just as they're dozing off?

If it helps to note: I'm not on any medication, or drugs, I don't smoke or drink alcohol nor do I drink soda, but I do have severe anxiety.
