Sleep Problems
Similar to the loss of smell, sleep problems are a common sign of many conditions, including stress and sleep-wake cycle disorders. These may include quick twitches and other involuntary movements. However, people with Parkinson's disease can experience extreme movements in their sleep, such as flailing arms and legs.
Additionally, rather than a few sleepless nights of tossing and turning, it's typically a nightly problem. This early sign of Parkinson's may progress to where the person disrupts their partner's sleep along with their own.
