“…The latter include ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, Tourette and Rett syndromes, most likely promoting alterations of the neural networks of CPGs responsible for rhythmic movements. Moreover, they describe rocking stereotypies as more typical of transitional NREM sleep, akin to some stereotypies of SHE, whereas rolling movements were most typically associated with REM sleep, when transient loss of the physiological muscle atonia would trigger the disinhibition of brainstem CPGs (Shah et al, 2018).…”

Rhythmic movements during sleep may occur in the context of physiological sleep-related motor activity or be part of sleep-related movement disorders such as bruxism, periodic limb movement disorder, restless legs syndrome, and sleep-related rhythmic movement disorder. They may also characterize some frontal or temporal nocturnal seizures of sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy, or be considered as part of NREM parasomnias, especially sleepwalking, sexsomnia or sleep-related eating disorder, or REM-related behaviors such as REM behavior disorder or complex movements associated with pediatric narcolepsy type I. In most cases rhythmic movements, especially when complex and long in duration, are related to different levels of arousal from sleep with recurrence of ancestral motor sequences promoted by central pattern generators in the brainstem, generally activated by the arousal process. A differential diagnosis between physiological events and pathological movement disorders, and between the latter and sleep-related epilepsy is critical to provide optimal treatment and an accurate prognosis. Specific treatment options for the aforementioned disorders are beyond the scope of this article.
