Of all of the problems that affect people who are stricken with Parkinson's Disease, insomnia is definitely not the most serious. But that does not mean that it is still not a serious issue. Two separate studies found Parkinson's Disease insomnia is found in 54 to 60 percent of patients who suffer from this condition. There are a number of reasons why this occurs. The first cause is the medications they are taking to treat PD. Another major cause of Parkinson's Disease insomnia is the fact that patients are suffering from an enormous amount of pain, which is a cause of sleep deprivation for just about anyone, not just those with Parkinson's Disease. Some people with this disorder fall asleep way too often during the daytime hours, which limits their ability to get sleep at night. And another major cause of sleepless nights for Parkinson's patients is the lack of rapid eye movement, or REM sleep. This is the same thing as deep sleep, and is very important for all of us in our quest to get refreshing rest. And for reasons that doctors really do not have an answer for, patients who have PD often have nightmares, which makes it tough for them to get back to sleep at night. If you or someone you care about is suffering from Parkinson's Disease insomnia, the first thing to do is consult a doctor. But there are also things you can do from home that can make a difference, at least in the interim. You don't have to just "live with" Parkinson's Disease insomnia . The book Stop Insomnia has some great advice for anyone looking to get more sleep. Get it by clicking here .
