Add the ending to ruhelos.
'Ruhelos' is made up of 'Ruhe' (peace / rest) and the ending '-los'. This ending expresses the absence of something: in this case, the absence of peace or rest.
Seit Tagen ist sie ruhelos und kann sich kaum entspannen.
She has been restless for days and can hardly relax.
'Ruhelos' frequently appears with verbs of movement, especially in the expressions 'ruhelos umherwandern' (to wander around restlessly) and 'ruhelos auf und ab gehen' (to pace back and forth restlessly). This expresses inner restlessness through visible movement.
Während sie auf eine Nachricht wartete, wanderte sie ruhelos durch die Wohnung.
While she waited for a message, she wandered restlessly around the apartment.
Typical expressions include 'eine ruhelose Nacht' (a restless night) and 'ein ruheloser Schlaf' (restless sleep). 'Ruhelos' therefore describes not only people, but also their sleep or a period when they cannot find peace.
Nach einer ruhelosen Nacht fühlte er sich am Morgen erschöpft.
After a restless night, he felt exhausted in the morning.
