Sleep Disorders in Parkinson’s Disease

Sleep disorders are common in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), affecting both the quality and quantity of sleep. Some of the key sleep disturbances associated with PD include:

  1. Insomnia: Difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep is frequent in PD patients due to discomfort, stiffness, or anxiety.
  2. REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD): This is characterized by acting out dreams, sometimes violently. It is often an early indicator of Parkinson’s.
  3. Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS): People with PD may experience uncomfortable sensations in their legs, especially at night, leading to a strong urge to move them, which disrupts sleep.
  4. Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS): Fatigue and sleepiness during the day are common, possibly linked to both the disease itself and side effects of medication.
  5. Sleep Apnea: PD patients may also suffer from obstructive sleep apnea, which involves repeated pauses in breathing during sleep.

Treatments for sleep disorders in Parkinson’s often involve a combination of medication adjustments, sleep hygiene practices, and in some cases, therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy or CPAP for sleep apnea.
