I have recently started a running program where I do interval training and walking. Previously I have only done exercising inconsistently. Nowadays I have been feeling restless and unable to relax. Is this normal, and if so is it temporary?
I enjoy having the extra energy, but it's interfering with my down time.

How recently have you started exercising? I think the restlessness should go away in about a week. Your body will eventually get too tired and get back on track.... just make sure you aren't taking extra naps and going to bed/waking up at the same times.
I have got to say that the answers I have read are a bit distressing to me. I have had RLS for about 10 years and am seeing a sleep specialist for it, I have a sleep study scheduled for next month. I was hoping that I could find a treatment that would make the RLS go completely away but it seems like it will be a life long battle to sleep (by the answers I have read here.) I am going to try and see if acupuncture will help. The drugs that I have been prescribed seem to work for a while until I build up a resistance to them and then have to switch to a different one. The last one was Mirapex but I had very severe side effects and had to stop taking it and return to the Requip and Gabapenten that I was taking. Hot baths do help, also if you have a particularly physical day it seems worse. I also have it in my arms and legs. The most upsetting thing to me is that if you tell someone that you have RLS they look at you like you are from a different planet, ( like oh big deal) The public needs to realize what a debilitating disorder this can be. If anyone has had any experience with acupuncture being effective for RLS please respond to this question . Good luck with this.
It means you are doing too mush too soon and you are over-training so your body is not recuperation.
Start over, but keep a diary of your training so you can moderate the amount and difficulty level of it, and build steadily.
