Hi Scott I surely understand your problem. I too have trouble settling to sleep and then staying asleep. In the early days of my PD, I was taking a Sinamet equivilant about a half hour before retiring. I have since learned that a side effect of sinamet is insomnia....I now take my last pill between 8 & 9 PM, i.e. several hours before I retire. It seems to help. Regrding the satin sheets, I have never tried them, but a movement disorder specialist suggested that I try sleeping nude. It offends my upbringing but it makes rolling over and indeed any movement in bed easier. It is definitely a means to an end. Try it and see how it works.
