Do PLM's disturb deep sleep?

All of the specialists I have spoken to say that the PLMs ( Periodic Limb Movements ) from PLMD do not disturb my sleep and that 300+ times a night I am disturbed from deep sleep by Idiopathic_Hypersomnia. ( I was also disturbed 300+ times a night from deep sleep by Sleep Apnea before I started using a CPAC machine). However some people think that the PLMs from PLMD are disturbing my deep sleep. This could mean that I may not have Idiopathic_Hypersomnia?

Earier this year I increased my medication from 1 mg Pergolide and 1 tablets of Synamet CR to also include 1.25 tablets of Synamet CR at lunch time plus take a 20 minute nap. Now I feel like I may have problems with Augmentation due to the higher level of Synamet CR.

I am about to follow up the specialist suggestion that I take Ritalin. It appears to be helpful and make wake me up during the day. This also increases my Dopamine level and hopefully this may allow me to reduce my use of Synamet CR reducing the risk of Augmentation. I did suffer from Augmentation on 3 tablets of Synamet CR in 2001 and 3mg of Pergolide in 2004.

I would like any helpful comment on PLM's distrubing sleep and any comments on Ritalin and Augmentation with Synamet CR and Pergolide.

Should you have a TV in the Bedroom?

Should you have a TV in the Bedroom? All the specialists appear to say no. Bed is for sex and sleep. It should not be used for anything that you associate with being awake. This is sound advice and if you have Insomnia or any sleeping problem where you have trouble going to sleep then again do not have a TV in the bedroom.

But I have Restless Leg Syndrome, Periodic Limb Movement Disorder, Sleep Apnea and Idiopathic Hypersomnia. I go to sleep in about 1/2 an hour. If I watch TV in bed I will dose off and often have very little memory of the program. If my Restless Legs (and arms ) were playing up it would distract me from this and help me go to sleep. My wife has Fibromyalgia which includes sleeping problems. Again the TV helps her relax so it is easier for her to go to sleep after watching the TV in bed.

My conclusion is that if you have Insomnia or trouble going to sleep and the TV will keep you awake then do not watch TV in bed. But if the TV helps you relax or distracts you from problems that might keep you awake or the TV helps you nod off then I believe TV in bed is a good thing. I would like positive feed back from both points of view.
