We all know how critical a good night’s sleep is to our health and well-being. However, for those of us with PD, sleep becomes even more important as the body needs more time to restore and repair itself. Not surprisingly, sleep-related symptoms are reported by more than 75% of people with PD. The following are the most common complaints:
- Difficulty falling and staying asleep
- Excessive daytime sleepiness
- Talking or yelling out while asleep
- Vivid dreaming
- Leg movements, jerking, cramping
- Difficulty turning over in bed
- Waking up to go to the bathroom
