Daftar Isi:
- Sleep is a basic human necessity that is very important for mental and health recovery. If we miss our sleep time, our mind and body will not function properly. One of the causes of bad quality sleep is Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), which is serious enough to interfere with normal physical, mental and emotional functioning. RLS is a condition that is characterized by an irresistible urge to move one's legs in order to stop uncomfortable or odd sensations. RLS can be detected, diagnosed, and evaluated by polysomnography (PSG). This paper discusses the indication of RLS and explains the role of PSG in evaluating RLS. The research method is a descriptive survey with the retrospective data taken from the sleep laboratory medical record. The result of the study revealed that RLS patients exhibited shorter total sleep time, lower sleep efficiency, higher arousal index, higher number of stage shifts and increasing periodic limb movement in sleep (PLMS). In conclusion, PSG has an important role in diagnosing and evaluating RLS because it can detect PLMS, RLS-PLMS severity, sleep stage, total sleep time, and change of sleep stages. PSG may also be used to indicate people with signs and symptoms appropriate with RLS criteria. Key words: Polysomnography (PSG), Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS)
