Polysomnographic findings during Video 1. This 1-minute polysomnographic epoch (150 mV) with electroencephalography (EEG) and mentalis muscle electromyography (EMG) recordings shows non-Rapid Eye Movement sleep interrupted by an arousal (black arrow), after which the patient starts headbanging (green arrow). The rhythmic movement artifacts on the EEG and EMG channels are typical for sleep-related rhythmic movement disorder.
