PD has its own sleep rhythm

My nights start with meds at 930 PM
and again just past midnight.

Mine include medications at 330 AM
Sometimes again at 6AM, definitely by 7AM

Otherwise I become immobilized.

SO if I have rested enough, I get up at
all kinds of pre-dawn hours.
And sometimes I am most clear-headed and
productive and write more easily on PIEN
at that time of the day.

My neuro just revealed to me  yesterday that
I am the only patient who would be totally
froxen up without nighttime meds.He has
60 PWP's in his practice of 200 or so patients.

Maybe it's the tip of the iceberg; there
must be MANY more PWP's like me.

Murray do you need meds to  avoid nighttime paralysis?

What year are you in since diagnosis and onset?
