Sleep is essential to our existence. Not only does sleep make us feel refreshed, it is pivotal for cognition, memory, learning, and every major system, tissue and organ in the body. Our brain is programmed to be self-healing without any conscious effort from us when allowed to receive 7-8 hours of quality sleep every night. But the lack of sleep will unravel our bodies natural ability to fight sleep disorders. Sleep disorders seen in Parkinson patients include insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), and REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD).1 No experience is necessary. Anyone can practice yoga nidra, either lying down, sitting in a chair or recliner. It is important to practice is a quiet place where you will not be disturbed. Draw the curtains, turn off the lights or cover your eyes so you sensory stimulation is lessened. You may want to cover yourself with a light blanket, as your body temperature will drop.
