There are a variety of sleep disorders out there, but one that often goes unaddressed is periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD). This condition involves rhythmic jerking of the feet or legs, which can interrupt a good night’s sleep. Some people with PLMD experience hundreds of these movements each night, which is not only frustrating for the sleeper, but for bed partners.
Thankfully, there is hope. With the right treatment, as many as 90% of PLMD cases can be resolved. Because PLMD often occurs alongside conditions like narcolepsy and obstructive sleep apnea, it’s important to connect with a professional to explore treatment options.
