To Sleep to Dream … No More? The Quest for Restorative Sleep in Huntington's Disease, a Clinician's Perspective.

Abstract

Sleep disorders are common in Huntington's disease (HD) but are complex; their bi-directional associations with psychiatric, cognitive, and motor dysfunction makes them especially important to both consider and to treat. The author provides a perspective in brief regarding sleep disturbances in HD, based on her experience caring for, and learning from, patients with HD for more than twenty years.
