This population was selected in order to contribute, in the context of scientific research, to the investigation into the association between temporomandibular disorders and sleep disorders, which include all those disorders that compromise both the quantity and quality of sleep with repercussions important on general health and quality of life, like: * Insomnia * Hypersomnia * Restless legs syndrome * REM sleep behavior disorder * Narcolepsy * Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) * Primary snoring * REM parasomnias (Sleepwalking, arousal disorders, excessive daytime sleepiness and night terrors) * Nocturnal epilepsy Patients with sleep disorders may be recruited in the observational study conducted by the University's Department of Dentistry Vita-Salute San Raffaele and the Neurology-sleep disorders unit of the San Raffaele Hospital in Turro, aimed at evaluating the prevalence of T
