Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD) is a sleep disorder characterized by involuntary and repetitive limb movements during sleep. These movements typically occur in the lower extremities, such as legs and feet, but can also affect the upper extremities. PLMD can disrupt sleep patterns and significantly impact the overall quality of sleep.

While the exact cause of PLMD is unknown, several factors have been associated with the development of this sleep disorder. Common causes and risk factors include:
- Genetic predisposition
- Nerve abnormalities
- Imbalances in certain brain chemicals
- Underlying medical conditions such as iron deficiency, kidney disease, or peripheral neuropathy
- Certain medications
Symptoms of Periodic Limb Movement Disorder (PLMD)
PLMD is often characterized by rhythmic limb movements that occur during sleep. These movements can disrupt sleep, leading to symptoms such as:
- Frequent awakenings

- Restless legs or an irresistible urge to move the legs
- Disrupted sleep for both the affected individual and their bed partner
- Difficulty falling asleep or maintaining sleep
