Restless sleep correlates with lower connectivity between the default mode network nodes, and default mode network and somatomotor network nodes. The default mode network is a group of brain regions that are active when we are at rest, not focusing on any specific task. The somatomotor network involves brain regions that are responsible for controlling movement and processing sensations from the body, such as touch and physical feedback.
