Dear Doctor, We have difficulty falling into sleep? How to differentiate between normal difficulty sleeping and difficulty sleeping associated with Parkinson’s disease?

This problem can indeed be challenging. We take a careful history and treat the sleep problem regardless of the PD status. Sometimes we even get a sleep study, and often we work on sleep habits._________________Michael S. Okun, M.D.
