K-Complex morphological alterations in insomnia disorder and their relationship with sleep state misperception
AbstractInsomnia disorder (ID) is characterized by electroencephalographic indexes of hyperarousal, often associated with the underestimation of sleep duration (i.e. sleep state misperception). Albeit non-rapid eye movement sleep K-complexes (KCs)...

Strengthening the link between periodic leg movements during sleep and cerebral small vessel disease
Sleep disruptions, especially periodic leg movements during sleep (PLMS), have long been implicated in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular conditions, albeit with mixed evidence. The recent study by Veitch et al. [1] presents a compelling explorati...

Association between cerebral small vessel disease and periodic limb movements of sleep in patients with stroke/TIA
AbstractStudy ObjectivesPeriodic limb movements (PLMs) of sleep, which may be linked to increased vascular events via nighttime sympathetic overactivity, have shown associations with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) in small studies. This stud...
