Have you or someone you know ever feels like they have too much energy, moves around alot, and can't stay still because if they do they will feel agitated? I wonder what is the cause of it and if they feel like they have limitless energy? Could a drug do that to someone?

I guess it is called "restlessness" or we use an adjective "hyperactive". Sleeping tablets may help. (just joking) Meditation, breathing exercises may also help. but i think it is not something to be treated & on the contrary a plus.

It's called 'sketchy'. It's a term or a slang word used to describe someone who cannot sit still or stay in one place and keeps on moving.

oh yes i think there are a few different name for this. It could be figgity not sure of the spelling, or the person can be called hyper. If it is a little kid you would say figity. If it is a grown up you would say he or she is so hyper.
