Welcome to my world. Restless sleep or no sleep seems to be the National PD Pastime.

My husband has PD and sleep is somewhat of a problem for him too. The one thing I would say to the gentleman who is listinimg to his iPod, is that brain wave test during sleep show that if you are trying to sleep with noise in the background your brain is still actively working. For your brain to rest, which also promotes dopamine, you need a quiet, dark surroundings in order to reach REM sleep. 4:00 am seems to be our time too - once my husband awakes so do I, and then the dog and then our parrot. Try quiet and dark! :)

4 AM sounds familiar unless my yelling wakes me up first. I have REM problems also. Bad dreams not often but scary!
