  I don't think it causes it, necessarily, just that it doesn't help.  I've heard I might need more magnesium.  :orly:

  I'm guessing that the stimulant effect of the caffeine, at best, doesn't help.  Not sure though.  :orly:

If your prone to RLS couldbe then yes stimulants can make it worse. Caffeine can, and 'proper' stimulants (I.e those that act as noradrenaline/dopamine releasers and/or reuptake inhibitors) also. 'True' stimulants that leam towards the noradrenergic side of the stimulant profile, as well as selective noradrenaline (norepinephrine in the US)  such as pseudoephedrine, ephedrine and phenylpropanolamine, as well as antagonists of the adrenergic autoreceptor, alpha2 adrenoreceptors, the most common one being yohimbine. Are the most prone to causing or aggravating RLS.

Dopamine releaser/reuptake inhibitors help RLS though in small doses, they are stimulant, but fairly selective ones, or dopamine receptor direct agonists can help. I take a DA agonist, pramipexole for RLS and it works well enough.

^sort of.

I stopped into a newsagent to buy more naphtha earlier.  (no, that is NOT what I am drinking lmao) and on the spur of the moment spotted some tia maria on the shelves and decided to buy a bottle. Had a couple of mugs of that, and have a nice little EtOH buzz on now:) Just relaxing with that whilst a more interesting something gestates:)

  More of that stupid half-caff coffee I bought by mistake, so I don't fall asleep before supper.  :P

Coke. Proper coke. None of that dirt-cheap, shitty tasting sweetener-laden 19 pence/2L filth. And none of that sweetener, low-sugar, no-sugar or anything else of that nature rancid garbage.

I drink rancid garbage - Coke Zero. It's my only vice. I don't have alcohol, I don't smoke or do illegal drugs, so what I drink is what I drink.

Now, though, it's noodle juice from a cup I bought.
