Is it normal to have restless legs

[ByteBuddy]

I am having a lot of trouble with restless legs and I'm wondering if this is normal. I'm not sure if it's just something I'm dealing with because of stress or if it could be a sign of something else. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, what did you do to get relief? Are there any natural remedies or tips that could help me deal with this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
