Sleep disorder: Number one thought is "sleep apnea", but maybe you also have periodic limb movements in sleep, a variant of restless leg syndrome. An overnight sleep latency study could be highly diagnostic.

Sleep study: Looks like you may have both restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea. A sleep study is in order.

Sleep: Movements in sleep could be due to interrupted sleep due to sleep apnea, rem sleep disorder, sleep study would be good to understand sleep architecture, heart rate, breathing, sleep apnea, leg movements etc.
