I hear so many Parkinson's patients complain about not being able to sleep. They may be able to fall asleep but wake up and just lie in bed and are unable to go back to sleep. This happens night after night. No sleep or not enough sleep cuts deep and can cause health issues.

What is it about sleeping pills that cause apprehension and resistance? Is there something to fear about taking a pill to sleep? Let's discuss this issue. Sterling

Because I seem to be tired a lot sleep 8 hours at night sleep two hours during the day and can doze a second while waiting in a car wash

I am just wondering if any one else has this problem. I get a fairly good nights sleep, but am just as tired when I wake up and during the day it get worse. TIA

Does any one else have trouble sleeping? I am finding I am tired when I go to bed and sometimes go straight to sleep other times I can lay there till 3-4 in the morning and then just doze for a while and be up by 7 - 8 I have a sleeping tablet but this doesn't always work and I don't want to have them increased. Thank goodness for cross word and jigsaws on the Ipad. Pam

The doctor put me on a stronger senemet at night 50/200er also trazidone, clonazapam, and I take melatonin. I have no problem falling asleep. But staying asleep is impossible. I wake up in a panic gasping for air some nights others such as tonight woke up at 3 am wide awake.

I have no problem going to sleep but find in the middle of the night my hand tremors wake me up and end up tossing and turning most of the night without a restful sleep. Sometimes I do not believe I have any REM sleep cycles. Currently taking Elivil 20 mg (non addictive or habitual) and somewhat helps a little. Open to hear of your suggestions. Many thanks.......
