Periodic limb movements of sleep without arousal on polysomnography

Periodic limb movements of sleep without arousal on polysomnography
This figure shows a 30-second epoch of a PSG demonstrating PLMS that are not associated with an arousal. While PLMS can be observed during N1 sleep and N2 sleep, they are typically reduced in N3 sleep and are generally absent during REM sleep.
PSG: polysomnography; PLMS: periodic limb movements of sleep; EEG: electroencephalography; EMG: electromyography; ECG: electrocardiography; REM: rapid eye movement.
