Excessive Sleep in the Morning

[AlanaS7]

Hello Lovely People,

I would welcome any feedback or experience you may have had with sleep.

Mum normally wakes up at 8-9 in the morning however lately she wont get up until 11 or 12 Midday. She is so tired that she just cant wake up!

We have started to give Mum CBD oil in the Morning and Evening (10'000mg). I am not too sure if this could be the cause.

She was starting to sleep in more prior to giving her the CBD oil. When she does wake up she is fine and goes about her day with no problems..

Thank you for reading, Alana

What Parkinson's meds and/or supplements is she taking?

Have her B12 levels checked. My mum could sleep 18 hours a day and what got her in the end (age 98) was vitamin B12 deficiency - commonly known as pernicious anaemia. We could cope with the sleepiness but the fact that she refused to eat was what caused me most distress. Good luck with that one.

It’s coming into winder there. Does she suffer from Seasonal affective disorder? SAD.

Is she sleeping well in the night?

Has she had blood tests for vitamin d, iron and b vitamins?

Since CBD oil does contribute to falling asleep and staying asleep, probably it's contributing to the situation. Why not discontinue it or cut it back and see what happens?

On the other hand, since sleep is so good and important for PWP, I'm not sure I would consider such a bad situation. If I could figure out how to sleep that long, I'd do it.
