Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and high daytime REM sleep pressure are important sleep features of myotonic dystrophy (DM1). Small and uncontrolled studies have focused on EDS phenotype; none have focused on nocturnal REM sleep characteristics in DM1. Our objectives were to compare polysomnographic and multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) parameters, and both tonic and phasic components of REM sleep between DM1 and controls.
