My name is Dan and I'm writing this blog to document the journey my Mother and I are taking with a little know disease called PSP (Progressive Supranuclear Palsy). It is also known as Steele-Richardson-Olszewski syndrome.

New Sleep Study
Well we picked up a device today called an actigraphy watch. It's a small watch like device used to assess sleep-wake cycle across many consecutive days and nights (Mom will wear hers for 7 days). The unit measures gross motor activity. The unit continually records the movements it undergoes. The data is later read to a computer where it can be analyzed. She is also going to keep a diary of her sleep schedule. I'll have to help her fill it out. Hopefully we'll be able to help mom with her insomnia.
