Summary:Abstract Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is common in Parkinson's Disease (PD). Actigraphy uses periods of immobility as surrogate markers of nighttime sleep but there are no examples of its use in assessing EDS of PD. A commercial wrist worn system for measuring bradykinesia and dyskinesia also detects 2 min periods of immobility, which have a 85.2% concordance with the detection of sleep by ambulatory daytime polysomnography, ( p
