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.
