Wikipedia:
PLMD should not be confused with restless leg syndrome (RLS). RLS occurs while awake as well as when asleep, and when awake, there is a voluntary response to an uncomfortable feeling in the legs. PLMD on the other hand is involuntary, and the patient is often unaware of these movements altogether.
This looks pretty confusing, it seems like medical science itself can't define the difference between these two. I believe what is ment is that PLMD occurs only at night while asleep.
