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.

Sleep problems are one of the most frustrating parts of living with Parkinson’s.

Tossing. Turning. Fighting the sheets. Waking up exhausted even though you spent eight hours in bed.

In this episode of Life in Motion: The Parkinson’s Podcast, Bryce and Brian dive into one of the biggest nighttime challenges people with Parkinson’s face… simply trying to move in bed.

Joined by physiotherapist and Comfort Linen founder Nancy McGovern, the conversation explores something most people never think about but that affects sleep every night: friction.

Nancy explains why turning over in bed can feel like a full workout with Parkinson’s, how stiffness and gravity work against you overnight, and why improving nighttime mobility could dramatically change sleep quality.

You’ll also hear:

• Why “tossing and turning” may actually be a friction problem• The science behind nighttime movement and Parkinson’s symptoms• Why sleep issues affect both partners in the bed• A surprising new Sleep Challenge involving Brian and Lori• And one practical change that might make nights easier

As always, expect real talk, real laughs, and honest conversations about life with Parkinson’s.

If nights are tough for you, you’re definitely not alone.

And this episode might just give you a new idea to try.

This episode is supported by Comfort Linen, created by physiotherapist Nancy McGovern after 30 years of helping people move more easily in bed.

Comfort Linen’s unique sheet and sleepwear system is designed to reduce friction so people can move more easily during the night, which can help improve comfort, independence, and sleep quality.
