Parkinson's and Sleep Problems

Posted by Teresa, Volunteer Mentor @hopeful33250, Nov 14, 2016

@chrisj2491 @caryp43 @denie57 @johnjames @trouble4343 @tntredhead @aperob @hdruss @retairforceman @macbeth. Hello all! I just read a post from one our Parkinson's spouses about extra activity at night and it got me to wondering how many others out there have very vivid dreams at night that might disrupt sleep and cause problems. If you have, please feel free to share your experiences. If you have found a good way to deal with it (meds, etc.) we would like to know about that as well.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Parkinson's Disease Support Group.

Hi @tntredhead, I was just wondering if you have connected with our Caregiver's Group here at Mayo Connect? There are some great folks in the group who could certainly relate to your situation. I'll tag the mentor for that group @IndianaScott. He will welcome you into the group.

Hello @dipper and welcome to Mayo Connect. I see that you posted about your husband's hospitalization. How is he doing now? Is he sleeping better now?
