Chronic short sleep duration (i.e., <7 h sleep daily) could reduce the brain's ability to attenuate toxin and protein accumulation, which may contribute to Parkinson's disease (PD). The purpose of this study was to characterize the relationship between self-reported sleep duration from adolescence to adulthood and the age of diagnosis in people with PD. A secondary purpose was to characterize the interaction between sleep duration and physical activity through the lifespan on the age of PD diagnosis.
