The evening and bedtime doses of Sinemet are often helpful. Some PWP find that unless they take a bedtime dose, they are unable fully to relax for sleeping. Invariably, the effect is worn out by morning, if you sleep on the average six to eight hours. I usually advise taking the AM Sinemet "before you kiss your spouse" or brush your teeth: i.e first thing in the morning. Some PWP like to take a regular Sinemet, since it works faster. Seek the advise of your neurologist if you are having this type of problem.
