Meanwhile, Parkinson’s UK’s Dr Katherine Fletcher said: “We know that many people with Parkinson’s experience sleep and night-time problems.
“While they can be experienced at any stage, research has often focused on those symptoms that may appear in the early stages of the condition, before diagnosis, as they help us to predict who will develop Parkinson’s in the future.”
Dr Fletcher added: “Previous research has shown rapid eye movement (REM) sleep disorder, where dreams are acted out, has been linked to a higher risk of Parkinson’s.
“It is estimated over 70 percent of those with REM sleep disorder will go on to develop the condition.”
