Restlessness is the state of being unable to relax, stay still, or feel satisfied. It often comes from worry, boredom, or a strong desire for change or action.
From *restless* 'unable to rest' + *-ness*, a noun-forming suffix. *Rest* comes from Old English *ræst* meaning 'bed, repose'.
Restlessness is your mind or body’s way of saying, 'Something needs to change,' even if you don’t know what. It can push people toward creativity and travel—or toward distraction and burnout.
