my dad is sleeping much better thru the night now with mirapex.
Besides being more active during the day, he is now having dreams some of them are pretty funny.

One where he is stacking firewood and he is trying to lift up moms head in his sleep thinking it is a piece of wood??

another nite he was dreaming that he was tamping in a fence post and was thumping mom on the head??

maybe she needs to sleep with a helmet on- LOL

Before mirapex he had been waking up 4-5 x during the nite - they though it was bladder or prostate troubles - all OK there

turns out he was waking cause the other meds wore off and since he was awake he would go to the bathroom anyway.

spent most of the time before mirapex dozing in his recliner - because he wasn't getting his deep REM sleep.
