Patients with sleep‐related motor and behavioral disorders present to a variety of subspecialty clinics (neurology, sleep medicine, respiratory medicine, psychiatry). Diagnosing these disorders can be difficult, and sometimes they have a significant impact on quality of life. Alongside a number of common and well‐recognized conditions, several new disease entities have been described in recent years that present with abnormal nocturnal motor phenomena (such as ADCY5‐associated disease and anti‐IgLON5 disease). Our understanding of the neural basis and prognostic significance of other sleep‐related disorders has also grown, particularly rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder. This review (along with a collection of previously unpublished videos) is intended to aid in the recognition and treatment of these patients. The recent change in terminology from nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy to sleep‐related hypermotor epilepsy is also discussed. © 2018 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society
