Parkinson’s disease (PD) is primarily characterised by movement disorders, but extra-motor symptoms are also an integral part of the disease. The most common of these include: sleep and mood disorders, sensory symptoms, autonomic dysfunction and cognitive impairment. Non-motor symptoms accompanying PD, particularly with the progression of the disease, include sleep disturbances of varying severity. Unfortunately, these symptoms are often overlooked, even though they can cause as many problems as motor symptoms and significantly impair functioning and quality of life. Regrettably, only a few studies on this topic can be found in Polish research to date, with slightly higher number in the foreign literature. Drawing on the available literature, the article presents Parkinson’s Disease Sleep Scale 2 (PDSS-2), and proposes its use in clinical practice as a sleep assessment tool. (JNNN 2024;13(3):124–127)
