I am 79 and wish I could sleep more. I wake up at 3:00 every morning. I was diagnosed 13 years ago.

My husband been sleeping a lot the last few days. I keep telling him to watch TV go for a walk . He keeps telling me later. Well we have a new aid helping us. So tomorrow I'm going to have to tell him he has to walk my him ever day. It worries me he's 80 and has had Parkinson's for 7 years. I can't do for him like I always did. I have back and knee problem.

My partner is the same. Imentioned it to his nurse, she said it was his conditipn. I was't impressed surely some thing could be done

For the PD patient having trouble staying awake ask your neurologist about Nuvigil or something that can help. Patients can have a life with PD and enjoy their days wide awake.
