Why get rid of it? People who fidget burn more calories.

Tangle your legs.

I used to have a terrible case of RLS. I stopped consuming caffiene and the problem vanished.

I thought of restless leg syndrome immediately also. Mine comes and goes. I never realized there was a connection with caffeine consumption. Next time mine acts up I will see if that could be the cause for me as well.

Hope that fixes your problem @rooeytoo

@proXXi – thanks. I gave up caffeine a couple of months ago and I feel better all over and I haven’t had restless legs lately either, so I’m sure you’re right!

You might need the circulation in your legs – a good thing! Per @Facade why get rid of it? Maybe you can develop an intentional fidget/movement that is less annoying/distracting than the spontaneous movements.
