Expert Briefing: Managing Nighttime Interruptions in Parkinson's Disease
Wellness Wednesday: Expert Briefing Series
Sleep disturbances are a common and often challenging symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD). This program explores three prevalent nighttime interruptions—Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS), REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD), and insomnia—that can affect individuals with PD and their care partners. This session will provide an in-depth look at the causes, symptoms, and practical management strategies for these sleep disorders.
