Out of 217 patients with a complaint of non-restorative sleep only 125 were finally diagnosed with insomnia. As 25.3% of patients showed combinations of sleep disorders, 49.3% with SDB and 41.5% with RLS/PLMD portable monitoring with electromyography of the legs is recommended. The investigation with a portable sleep monitoring system including an EMG of the tibialis muscle is very useful in patients with insomnia in addition to a clinical interview and questionnaires.
