This seems to be fairly common with PD patients. The best thing to do is let him sleep. You should be careful because he may act out his dreams and hit you. They don't seem to remember when this happens. Some of us have had to start sleeping in seperate rooms.

Cj, if your husband hasn't tried Seroquel you might ask his neurologist. It doesn't work for everyone, but some people with PD find it helps with night terrors and agitation.
