Abstract
A few months into her neurology fellowship at the Ludwig-Maximilian University Hospital in her native Munich, Germany, Claudia Trenkwalder was told by a senior colleague to abandon any hopes of a research career in neurology.

Sat at her desk, 25 years on, as the Clinical Director of the Centre of Parkinsonism and Movement Disorders at the Paracelsus-Elena Klinik in Kassel, Germany, a pioneer in the treatment of restless legs syndrome, and the president of the World Association of Sleep Medicine (WASM), she can afford a wry chuckle at her ex-colleague's misguided advice.
