    Fig 1.

    A 30-second epoch from a polysomnograph demonstrating the changes in rapid eye movement (REM) behaviour disorder. The electro-oculogram channels (LOC and ROC) (blue) show the characteristic eye flicks of REM sleep. The submental electromyogram (CHIN 1) (red) should be flat but shows phasic activity as the patient is moving.

    Fig 2.

    Five minutes from a polysomnograph demonstrating periodic limb movements in sleep. The electromyogram signals from the anterior tibialis muscles (RLEG and LLEG) (green) show repetitive movements, in this case of both legs, which produce repetitive arousals from sleep.
