Members had a warm and lively discussion about whether Belgian sleeping buns help with sleep before bed, with many joining in for the fun while also sharing what actually helps them rest at night. Several members mentioned personal sleep aids including CBD gummies, clonazepam, amitriptyline, and prescription sleep medications, while others enjoyed lighter remedies like milk and cookies or a small glass of wine. A recurring theme was that everyone's body is different, with some finding sugar and carbs disruptive to sleep, and many leaning on humor and community connection to make the conversation feel joyful and supportive.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member you have presented a serious question that deserves a serious answer. Unfortunately, today is not my day to be serious. Somewhere in this thread, somebody asked if there were any medications that interfered with sleep.
I think that any laxative taken with a high caffeine drink would interfere with your sleep.

AnneKristine Thank you! If I can find such a thing in a lactose free form or something similar I would certainly give it a try then brush my teeth well. Calories are a non issue for me as the Dr wants me to gain weight! Sleep is a huge plus!
