title: Interactions of sleep and Parkinson's disease.
abstract: Sleep disruption represents an important, and clinically relevant facet of Parkinson's Disease [PD]. This review attempts to integrate the current knowledge regarding sleep alterations in PD by examining following: the nature of sleep disturbance in PD, the influence of antiparkinson medication on sleep parameters, the interaction of psychological conditions such as depression and anxiety with sleep, and possible beneficial aspects of sleep in PD. Special emphasis is placed on rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder and the evidence of it heralding PD and related disorders.
