Parkinson’s & Sleep: How to Get Some Damn Rest

Parkinson’s & Sleep: How to Get Some Damn Rest

They say sleep is the best medicine—but Parkinson’s clearly didn’t get the memo. In this brutally honest episode, I’m talking about the weird, wild, and exhausting world of Parkinson’s and sleep: the midnight leg cramps, the 3 a.m. bathroom runs, the dreams that could win Oscars… and why it’s so hard to get some damn rest.

I’ll walk you through:

  • Why sleep is so messed up with Parkinson’s
  • What actually helps me (no magic cure—just real, usable stuff)
  • What didn’t work (looking at you, sleep tea and weighted blankets)
  • And the unexpected mindset shift that helped me the most

Whether you’re sleeping like a rock (for now) or awake counting the ceiling tiles, this episode is for you.
