Introduction: The relationship between the autonomic nervous system and restless legs syndrome (RLS) and periodic limb movements of sleep (PLMS) consists of varied and somewhat conflicting reports. In order to further elucidate these complexities, a retrospective analysis of polysomnography (PSG) records and clinical data was performed.
Methods: Records from 233 adult subjects were randomly selected and organized into one of four groups ("non-RLS/PLMS" [n=61], "RLS" [n=60], "PLMS" [n=58], and "RLS/PLMS" [n=54]).
Objectives: Autonomic dysfunction has been demonstrated in patients with rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder utilizing heart rate variability parameters. We hypothesized that isolated rapid eye movement sleep without atonia is similarly associated with autonomic dysfunction as demonstrated by a reduction in heart rate variability.
Methods: An evaluation of 120 records demonstrating rapid eye movement sleep without atonia during polysomnography was performed.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been found to be an independent risk factor for stroke in large epidemiological studies. The mechanisms underlying this relationship have been investigated over the past 2-3 decades, with a particular focus on identifying pathophysiological pathways and risk modification strategies. Despite the advancements made, the specific understanding of the implicated mechanisms is still limited.

Article Synopsis
- Insomnia is a costly and common disorder often linked with other illnesses, making it tricky to diagnose and treat.
- While medications like hypnotics are frequently used, they might not be safe for all patients and don't tackle the root causes of insomnia.
- Cognitive behavioral therapies offer a more effective long-term solution by addressing the underlying issues, and the article also touches on similar symptoms found in circadian rhythm disorders like delayed and advanced sleep phase syndromes.
