Sweating and body odor can be concerns for individuals with Parkinson's disease. Here are some relevant points from my knowledge base:

- Medication Side Effects: Some medications for Parkinson's, like Stalevo (Levodopa/Carbidopa/Entacapone), can cause sweating as a side effect. If this becomes problematic, it's important to discuss it with your doctor.

- Sleep Hygiene: Good sleep hygiene can help manage overall well-being, which might indirectly help with sweating issues. Tips include:
- Maintaining a consistent sleep schedule.
- Avoiding electronic devices and bright light before bed.
- Keeping your bedroom cool and peaceful.

- Fabric Choices: Using silk or satin sheets and pajamas can help with comfort and ease of movement in bed, which might also help reduce sweating at night.

If sweating and body odor are persistent issues, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and potential treatment options.
