F Grandas et al. Neurology. .

Abstract

A large number of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) experience nocturnal problems that impair their sleep quality. Among them, motor disorders such as tremor, rigidity, akinesia, akathisia, periodic leg movements, painful dystonia, dyskinesias, restless legs syndrome, and rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder are common. This article reviews the clinical characteristics of some nocturnal motor problems that often induce sleep disruption in PD patients.
