Frequency and characteristic features of REM sleep without atonia.

CONCLUSIONS: RSWA is a frequent finding in the context of antidepressant use or synucleinopathies. iRSWA subjects reported increased excessive daytime sleepiness and more often had excessive daytime sleepiness as polysomnography indication. SIGNIFICANCE: Our study provides evidence for high frequency of RSWA, underscoring the need for longitudinal studies in iRSWA patients, with interest for conversion to synucleinopathies.
