Elevation and Humidity

I've been tinkering around and noticed I do quite a bit better at lower elevations, and am currently tinkering with humidity levels to confirm whether that makes a difference. It seems to help my RLS severity but also just my general quality of sleep to a surprising degree. Does anyone else have experience with these variables and how did they impact your RLS and overall sleep quality?

I went from one extreme to the other and didn't see much change in my RLS. I lived in metro Houston (elevation about 65 ft) and if the humidity was less than 70 or 80%, it was the middle of a drought. I now live in Colorado at an elevation of almost exactly 6000 ft and where the only time that the humidity goes above about 10% is when it is raining or snowing (or about to). We frequently see clouds with moisture falling, but nothing hits the ground because it evaporates before it lands.
