I've had it. They say it's not stress related but mine was. I quit working and reduced my stresses and it's mostly gone now. It gave me chronic insomnia, like I went without sleep for six weeks a couple of times, so work became impossible. I only get some very minor stuff occasionally now, almost like a feeling of intense congestion in the legs and some minor twitching.

I thought I had it, but it turns out it was just normal ASD traits.

I have it, and I think I inherited it from the mother's side of my family. Whenever I get really tired but unable to sleep it becomes prevalent.

The time it's most apparent is on airplanes. I take motion sickness tablets which make me drowsy and spaced-out, and then I try to sleep sitting down. The combination of these things somehow give me a great urge to ride an invisible bicycle.
