Neurological Conditions
There are a number of neurological conditions that are known to cause insomnia or increase your risk of developing sleep problems. Nearly every patient with Parkinson’s has bouts of insomnia. Those with multiple sclerosis are up to three times as likely to suffer from sleep disturbances and poor sleep quality than those without neurological conditions. Even people with restless leg syndrome will have difficulty falling to sleep.
Sleep disruptions can also be a side effect of symptoms of neurological conditions, include spasms, pain, and tremors. Moreover, the medications that are prescribed to help with Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological conditions usually have ingredients that interrupt sleep cycles, cause nightmares, and even worsen fatigue.
