Sleep disturbance during pregnancy can result in excessive daytime sleepiness, diminished daytime performance, inability to concentrate, irritability, and the potential for an increased length of labor and increased risk of operative birth. Sleep disturbance may be the result of a sleep disorder, such as leg cramps, a common yet benign disorder, or restless legs syndrome, a sensorimotor disorder. Both disrupt sleep, are distressing to the pregnant woman, and mimic one another and other serious disorders. During pregnancy, up to 30% of women can be affected by leg cramps, and up to 26% can be affected by restless legs syndrome.

Willis-Ekbom Disease/Restless Legs Syndrome (WED/RLS), a disorder frequently unrecognized and under diagnosed during pregnancy, may affect one out of every three women in this population. Symptoms can lead to disrupted sleep and adversely affect daytime alertness and performance. The exact prevalence of WED/RLS during pregnancy is unknown, largely due to lack of standardization for assessment of the disorder. We present a review of articles examining this, so clinicians can appreciate assessment and treatment of the up to 34% of pregnant women who may suffer from WED/RLS and its consequences.
