Clare -- Thanks. We noticed that Sominex has the same ingredient as Benadryl but the latter is much cheaper in the generic form. We also noticed that Unisom is a different medication and wondered if anyone was using that. Ted is on the same sleep cycle as you are. About four hours is the max although he lays down and naps during the day. That's good for him but, unfortunately, I'm a light sleeper who likes at least five or six good sound hours of sleep in a row. And I've never been a napper. I'm no expert but I doubt that you have a sleep disorder from what I've witnessed here. He used to sleep well at night all night -- up until about a year ago. I don't know if it's the Parkinson's or the medications, but I feel it is one or the other. Please keep us informed on your outcome.
