George in Calgary,
I've heard that Eldepril (Selegiline) may contribute to insomnia.
If you're using Eldepril, one recommendation is to take your last dose
around noon. As always, when you're considering a change in medication,
consult the doctor who prescribed it. Cheers, Geo.

That's 2 hours more than I get....love to hear suggestions about how to
get
some sleep.
Re your earlier question: my lack of sleep followed diagnosis of PD. Was a
sound sleeper before.....Here's a nasty thought. Wonder if lack of sleep
leads to dimentia; new study just connected it with a high incidence of
heart
attacks......
