I believe, Clare, that both PD AND PD meds can cause sleep disturbance. As can growing older, etc. Which is why a somewhat sedating anti-depressant is often prescribed at night in low doses. Helps you both sleep and feel better in general. Most OTC sleeping pills, Unisom for example, are primarily diphenhydramine, which is Benadryl.
