About this listen
In Episode 2 of Life in Motion: The Parkinson’s Podcast, Bryce and Brian dive into one of the most frustrating and universal challenges for people with Parkinson’s — sleep problems. From insomnia and vivid dreams to night sweats and the dreaded “wide awake at 3 AM” nights, they share real-life stories, personal hacks, and laugh-out-loud moments (including why Brian thinks his wife might need a helmet).
You’ll also hear about:
- Why Parkinson’s disrupts sleep in so many ways
- The role of caffeine, melatonin, and nighttime routines
- Dealing with vivid dreams, acting out in your sleep, and REM sleep behavior disorder
- The domino effect of bad nights on your days — and how to break the cycle
- Practical hacks for better rest, including cooling blankets, light therapy lamps, and bedtime routines
Whether you’re newly diagnosed or years into the journey, this episode will give you both empathy and practical tips to improve your nights — and your days.

You made it through another Life in Motion! That’s 20–30 minutes you could’ve spent folding laundry, Googling symptoms, or rearranging your pill bottles. Instead, you hung out with Bryce & Brian — friendship or questionable time management. Follow, review, and keep laughing.
