Periodic limb movement disorder

Periodic limb movement disorder (plmd) is a condition in which a person experiences repetitive movements, such as kicking or jerking, during sleep. These movements can cause disruptions in sleep, leading to difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, and can result in excessive daytime sleepiness. Plmd is often seen in individuals with restless legs syndrome (rls), and can also be caused by certain medications, alcohol, or other factors. Polysomnographic technologists can help diagnose plmd by conducting sleep studies and evaluating the individual's sleep patterns.
