The 3:00 AM problem.

If you live with Parkinson’s, you probably know it well.

You wake up.
You try to roll over.
Your body won’t cooperate.
And suddenly you’re wide awake in the middle of the night.

In this episode of Life in Motion: The Parkinson’s Podcast, Bryce and Brian open the doors to what they jokingly call the 3:00 AM Motel - the place many people with Parkinson’s end up when sleep disappears.

They talk about:

• why turning in bed can feel like a full workout
• how nighttime stiffness affects sleep quality
• why sleep problems impact both partners
• the launch of the Brian & Lori Sleep Challenge

Physiotherapist Nancy McGovern, founder of Comfort Linen, also explains the surprising role friction plays in nighttime mobility and why improving movement in bed may help people sleep better.

If you’ve ever been awake at 3:00 AM wondering if anyone else understands…

This episode is for you.

This episode is supported by Comfort Linen, a mobility-enhancing sheet and sleepwear system designed to reduce friction and make it easier to move in bed.
