My mom is diagnosed as PD some days ago. Shè walks around rooms all day. Shè replies me she is not tired after long walks. I am ok with walking day time but when she continues at night too, I am worried about her sleep cycle. Do most PD patients have behavior change like that? What shall I do/think/discuss about this?
I hope they can find her something to help her sleep through the night, not just for herself, but for you too. People with PD are more likely to fall than other people, so walking around alone is worrisome. But caregivers have to sleep sometime.
