My tremors DON’T stop when I sleep. They wake me up and that’s when I grab my wrist or forearm to stop them.
I do drool some.
Turning/respositioning in bed is horrible. I go from left side-to back-to right side every 20-30 minutes, it seems. (Some of the reason is a bad left shoulder.)

I take 6mg. (half of a 12mg.pill) nightly. I get good sleep BUT I still get left hand tremors. They stop immediately when I grab my wrist.

I have been taking Melatonin (5 or 6mg) for a few months. Some nights good…some nights bad. I go to bed quite late (midnite-1:30) and do wake up usually once or possibly twice to urinate and get up at about 9. However, I added Gabapentin (only 100 mg.) to my before-bed routine in the last week. Amazing! I have slept completely through the night 3 times and have woken up quite refreshed and alert. When I work out shortly thereafter, I do not drag or feel tired. Let’s see if this formula lasts.
