The neurologist told my dad daytime sleepiness can be that you're uncomfortable and not sleeping well at night because you're rigid. He gave dad a time release @Sinemet at bedtime and it helped a lot.

I also watched a webinar on sleep by a Stanford doctor. She advised not taking longer than a 15-20 minute nap during the day, or you won't sleep well at night because of the long nap. Maybe set an alarm or have some one wake you? It's complicated!

I am having these exact issues...up all night...rigid, cannot turn in bed, fall asleep for 10 min and then go and paint the rest if the night....till 4 am....only getting worse

I used to struggle with it all the time until i managed my meds with my dr so that they wouldnt make me so drowsy anymore.

Me too - avg about 4 hours of restless sleep :(
