Yes, leg thumping during sleep caused by Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) can often be controlled. Simple steps like improving sleep habits, gentle leg stretching or massage before bed, avoiding caffeine and alcohol at night, and correcting low iron levels can help. If symptoms continue or disturb sleep a lot, a doctor may prescribe specific medicines that reduce leg movements and improve sleep.
