@jatonlouise I have been having REM sleep issues for several years; I actually DID bite my husband one night. My sense of smell has been messed up for ten years. I can smell some things, faintly, but not much. I do, however, often smell things that are not there. I have not been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. I have had sleep studies done but they have not seen my crazy dream acting out. Is there anything at all that can be done at this point (asking not as medical advice, just your experience). I don’t sleep well, whether it’s an acting out night or not. I am ridiculously tired ALL THE TIME. Something has to give; there has to be more to life than pure exhaustion all the time. I feel like doctors are listening, but I don’t think they are understanding just how heavily this impacts my daily life.

@amymoss93 perhaps you should look into cognitive behavior therapy for sleep. I am going to start this week with a group online sponsored by Mass General Hospital in Boston.
