Parkinson disease (PD) patients: Trouble sleeping? Tell Your Neurologist!
PD patients often complain of sleep troubles, and a new article published by Columbia University encourages patients to address the issue. An important feature of PD, sleep disturbances deserve clinical attention.

If you have PD and have trouble sleeping, keep a detailed history of your specific sleep problems, such as: excessive daytime sedation, difficulties with sleep onset, frequent awakenings, increased movements during sleep, acting out dreams, and abnormal breathing.

The more information you provide your PD clinician, the more successful your sleep therapy treatment will be!
