I once read something about it and it was called sleep-benfit. Starting the first sinemet not before two hours after I've gotten up, I benefit more from it than if I start it immediately after I've gotten up. The only symptom which sometimes shows up during this drug-free period is a tremor, which is totally absent the rest of my day. The symptoms, which are the most troublesome are a combination of dystonia and dyskinesia which starts in the evening 3 or 4 hours after I took my last sinemet and lasts about 1 hour.
