Parkinson's, Sleep and Me
Getting adequate rest and sleep is an important component of overall health and quality of life. Parkinson’s disease creates many challenges to getting a good night’s sleep, both for the person with Parkinson’s and the caregiver. This program provides information on how Parkinson's disease affects sleep, and ways you can get a better night's sleep while living with PD.
