The condition affects the amount of sleep you get. That's usually the reason you don't go to work

I eventually had to leave my job because of chronic insomnia due to RLS.

Luckily I can work flexible hours so often go into work at 10am and work late. If my RLS has been bad I am so tired for the rest of the morning but tend to perk up in the afternoons.
