I don't want to get too excited but I haven't slept over 5 hours in a couple of months since reducing DA meds (Requip down to 1/4 and then 0). I am trying a later bed time 10:30/11 instead of 9 pm. I have always gone to be early and gotten up early even though we are retired. I still needed to get up and exercise around 12 am but fell asleep pretty easy and slept til 8:15 am!! No RL during that time that I was aware of. I took SueJohnson's advice and made sure about timing of Gabapentine with later bedtime. Praying it is a beginnning of a trend
