Why does RLS only come while laying in bed?

I walk around all day without any problems other than typical wd symps but 10 mins after going to bed this crap hits hard. What triggers this?  I eat bananas but that does not seem to provide any relief. Also...how long does this typically last before going away?  

Hoping tomorrow is better. Day 6 was tough but better than day 5.

rls occurs due to inactivity  the abrupt cessation of endrophins from the  outside source, (pills) is why it happens during opiate withdrawal.
exercsie will help replace the much needed endrophins and will help the rls.
tomorrow will be a better day, keep moving forward.
congrats on your clean time.
