    A sequence of REM sleep without atonia in a patient with Parkinson’s disease. Repeated obstructive apneas occur in spite of subnormal chin muscle tone (chin EMG), with further muscle enhancement when the apneas resume. LOC-A1 and ROC-A1: eye movements via left and right ocular canthus; C3-A2 EEG: central electroencephalogram; L and R leg EMG: left and right leg EMG; Airflow via nasal pressure; phono: tracheal audio monitor; RC: Rib cage and ABD: abdomen respiratory movements. SaO2: transcutaneous oxygen saturation.
