The research has found that older men experiencing frequent bad dreams are twice as likely to be later diagnosed with Parkinson’s.
Older men who experienced nightmares are twice as likely to have Parkinson's
“While we need to carry out further research in this area, identifying the significance of bad dreams and nightmares could indicate that individuals who experience changes to their dreams in older age – without any obvious trigger – should seek medical advice.” Those indicating they had bad dreams at least once per week were then followed up at the end of the study to see whether they were more likely to be diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
The study indicated that bad dreams and nightmares could be a key precursor for developing the characteristic features of Parkinson’s, including tremors, stiffness, and slowness of movement. This means that those who frequently have bad sleep could seek help for Parkinson's earlier.
