Dear List Members, My husband, Bob, 46, PD 7 years, can fall asleep OK, but always wakes up at 1, or 2 or 3 AM wide awake and can't go back to sleep. He has mentioned this to the neurologist before, but the neuro said "we all have difficulty sleeping" and more or less blew him off. His neuro is otherwise a great guy tho. The neuro seemed unaware that this is a common complaint of PDers. Bob has tried Benadryl (the CORRECT ONE), but there was a nasty side effect -- unable to urinate. If anyone takes a sleeping pill or tranquilizer and it works, please let me know because we are going to the neuro next week and would like to take some info with us. He takes Eldypryl AM, second one at Noon, 3 25/100 Sinemet, 2 Permax. Thanks for your thoughts, Jackie
