    ![Understanding Sleep Banner Updated](/sites/default/files/styles/no_sizing/public/images/Sleep-Banner-940x510_Update.png?itok=uqrMLOG_)  ### Check-in and Light Breakfast starts at 9 a.m. ET.

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.

There is no charge to attend, but registration is required. This program is open to people with Parkinson's, their family, friends and the community.
