Abstract

The patient reported neither the symptoms of sleepwalking, restless leg syndrome (RLS), complex behaviors such as speaking, yelling, rocking or dream enactment behavior nor other sleep-related rhythmic movements, such as hypnagogic hallucinations, sleep paralysis, or cataplexy. Confusional arousal is characterized by recurrent episodes of incomplete arousals from NREM sleep that results in a state of disorientation and occasionally associated with automatic behavioral disorder such as automatic motor activity. [8] Several psychotropics were found to be associated with periodic movement disorders during sleep such as antihistamine, antipsychotics (haloperidol, olanzapine, and risperidone), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) antidepressants, tricyclic antidepressants, mirtazapine, venlafaxine, and dopamine blocking agents (promethazine, metoclopramide, and prochlorperazine).
