Hi @BarbH ,
Seeing as you haven’t received a response from the community as yet, I thought I’d share some information that you may find useful.
People with Parkinson’s may experience a range of sleep conditions which includes night tremors. We have a lot information and tips via the Parkinson’s UK website here: Sleep problems and conditions in Parkinson's | Parkinson's UK
Also, many members on the forum have shared their own experiences with night tremors which you may find helpful and may even find some helpful tips. Please the list of threads below:
Hi all,
Just wondering how your tremor is when you don’t get much sleep. If I don’t sleep well. I notice when I’ve had a couple of nights of not much sleep, my usual very minor tremor is far worse and noticeable to others.
Thank you for your response. Really good advice. I actually noticed a twitch in the instep of my foot last night whilst I was watching television. Like you, I have put down some symptoms to middle age and tried not to focus on it too much. Quite hard to do when you have very young children and end up thinking into the future. Anyway, I will take your advice and live for today/ book the holiday/ buy the dress etc/ and try to get more exercise. Thank you
HI everyone
I also do the night shift most nights. Our rermedy was to buy an adjustable bed with separate mattresses and hubby says he doesn't feel me wriggling and tossing trying to turn over. He doesn't even hear the motor whirring when I adjust the bed. I find raising my legs helps the tremor at night. What does disturb him is the noise I make when I start dreaming as I shout and thrash about. He never knows whether to wake me or not as if he does I might not get back to sleep. If I take…
Lastly, if you’d like to speak to someone about this in more detail or need further support on medication, please give our helpline a call and speak to one of our trusted advisers. Do give us a call on 0808 800 0303.
Best wishes,
