We are getting more reports about improvement in sleep for people with Parkinson’s Disease using red lights on a daily basis.
One Eliza-user has given permission for me to quote his wife’s description:
“I have noticed a vast improvement in his sleep. Prior to him starting the light therapy, he was having very restless sleep at night. He was suffering insomnia and he often lashed out in very jerky uncontrolled movements during sleep. He now sleeps very soundly and the sudden uncontrolled movements have stopped completely. As a result he has more energy during the day.
We are particularly thrilled about his improved sleep as this not only impacted on him but also on me. His medication has not changed at all.”
REM sleep disorder is a well-known part of the Parkinson’s Disease progression; it is very disruptive and distressing for the individual and partner. It seems that the red lights have an effect on REM sleep, and somehow sooth it.
We have had multiple separate reports about sleep improvements (usually from spouses) and there is an exciting consistency in these reports. A soothing sleep is good for all.
