Delivery of electrical stimulation to the substantia nigra and the subthalamic nucleus of a brain of a patient are independently controlled in order to treat sleep and movement disorders. Electrical stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus may be effective in treating symptoms associated with a movement disorder, and electrical stimulation of the substantia nigra may be effective in treating symptoms associated with a sleep disorder. During a sleep state of the patient, a sleep stage of the patient may be determined, and an electrical stimulation device may be controlled based on the determined sleep stage. Electrical stimulation of the substantia nigra and subthalamic nucleus may be delivered at substantially the same time or at different times.
