NOT SLEEPING

My mom was diagnosed with Parkinsons about six months ago. I noticed about two years ago she started having trouble with the quivering in her bottom lip and ringing in her ears. She also suffers (horribly) with insomnia. She has had the insomnia for years. She was prescribed medicine for the insomnia, but that doesn’t even seem to help her. She wakes up in the middle of the night and cannot get back to sleep. After several tests and visits over the past year, she was told she had Parkinsons. Again, she was given pills to help her sleep, but they do not help. If anyone has any recommendations that would help my mom get some sleep, PLEASE advise. I hate seeing her suffer so much. Thanks.
