Ankles/Feet/Night Shakes?

My wife is a "put her feet up" kind of gal, and that's all good and fine. We have our own couches, and for about six hours a night when we do our "watch our TV shows" moments, it's constant SQUIRMY-ness from her feet. I'm not petty or fussy, but her feet are perpetual motion. Is this derivative of RLS? And I get it; I'm worst husband of the year for being annoyed. But CONSTANT motion in my field of vision is annoying. Thoughts?

    Six hours is a long time to sit with feet up. Don't think I'd be able to move after! Maybe it's her body's way of complaining.

    RLS would most likely wake her up at night in bed. PLMD would cause limb movement without her waking up.

    The poor women I did that for relief put my legs up to touch the walls.  Moving constantly is like having Parkinson's you also burn calories when you sleep and wake tired all the time from the constant workout.  My heart goes out to her.
