Different things work differently for different people. Anxiety, not being able to shut off my brain, and worrying about not sleeping, is often what keeps me awake, a vicious circle. Indica, vape used to work but not so much now,Sleeping meds,Zopiclone, gets me to sleep, but doesn't keep me asleep, Lorazepam, the same Mirtazapine, essentially an anti depressants,can work, but you need to take it for 10days before it does,meanwhile you still have to sleep It does have the advantage of making you put on weight, which for me ,always underweight is a plus Personally, I don't worry if a drug is addictive,it's like not taking enough levadopa because you worry about future dyskinesia. Live your life now,the illness is progressive, and thinking about the future is what anxiety is all about, thinking about the life you had in the past is what depression is all about.,and the past and future are only in your head,they don't exist. Do what works now whatever it is,,PD marches merrily along,and it's not, like I'm saving myself, for a brighter future. Since I have started to do that,I sleep better..To quote the old song,Whatever Gets You Through the Night.Just a thought.

Recently, I've been having trouble sleeping. To tackle this, I've added B2 and Magnesium Glycinate to my routine, and it's been helping me get better sleep. However, I still find it challenging to sleep for more than 6 hours at a stretch. Typically, I rarely sleep more than 6 hours.

During the day, I make an effort to stay active. This includes cleaning my house, taking walks around the neighborhood, and playing music to dance along. Cooking is another activity I enjoy, and it keeps me occupied throughout the day.

In the morning, I've started practicing meditation along with positive affirmations. This routine helps me stay motivated. I've chosen to focus on happiness and look at the positive aspects of life.

Hope this helps.

😂 I had a good chuckle over your comment Max. For me maintaining my sense and humor is important in my trek through life with PD

I tried four different medications to help me sleep ... none of them worked. I don't have trouble falling asleep, I have trouble staying asleep. My son talked me into trying a THC/CBD Gummy, and I was very surprised to see that it helps ... a lot. Instead of waking up every hour or two all night long and getting out of bed tired, I maybe wake up once, roll over, and fall back to sleep and greet the morning feeling pretty good. Who knew that this ultra-conservative former Marine, would embrace "pot" as a sleep aid, but heck ... I'm a fan of whatever works.

I go to sleep quickly and only wake up 2 or 3 times a night to go to the bathroom and I go right back to sleep.
