AB In  this  chapter,  we  will  review  movement  disorders  in  sleep.  The  disorders  reviewed  below  encompass  an  extraordinarily  wide  range  of  movements  and  behaviors.  For  ease  of  presentation,  we  have  divided  this  review  into  movement  disorders  known  to  be  specific  to  sleep  versus  those  movement  disorders  characteristic  of  wakefulness  that  may  be  modulated  by  sleep.  Additionally,  we  will  focus  on  practical  guidelines  for  treatment  that  are,  in  part,  driven  by  anatomic  and  physiological  considerations  of  movement  in  sleep,  using  Parkinson's  disease  (PD)  as  the  prototypical  disorder.  The  similarity  of  the  sleep-related  manifestations  of  many  of  these  disorders  and  their  assumed  common  underlying  pathophysiology  lead  to  treatment  considerations  that  are  parallel,  despite  heterogeneity  of  waking  clinical  disease.  It  is  our  belief  that  the  various  states  of  sleep  may  represent  an  exquisitely  sensitive  window  on  the  functional  anatomy  and  pharmacology  of  the  basal  ganglia  and  related  structures,  which  may  enhance  our  knowledge  of  the  mechanisms  underlying  these  conditions.
