It looks to me as if you are one of the lucky ones who gets "sleep benefit". I'm not sure of the correct clinical/medical explanation, but essentially, sleep acts on you like a light drug dosage, reducing or even stopping the symptoms during sleep. I think very few PWP get sleep benefit: most continue their dystonia, tremor etc whilst asleep! Regards -- Jeremy Browne - [log in to unmask] Hampshire, UK
