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?
