Many people with Parkinson’s Disease have trouble sleeping. Exercise may help improve sleep. Most exercise studies happen in clinics and labs. This study will modify an exercise program so it can be done at home with virtual support. The study team also wants to learn if a wearable sleep headband and a small movement sensor are easy to use at home. If you choose to join, all study activities will be done virtually. You will first have a screening visit to see if you are able to join. If you are able to join, you will complete 3 exercise sessions in 1 week. Two sessions will be led by a physical therapist by video. One session will be done on your own using instructions and videos from the study team. Each session lasts about 75 minutes and includes a warm-up, exercise time, and cool-down. During the same week, you will wear a headband while you sleep for 5 nights. This headband will measure your sleep quality. You will also wear a small sensor on your lower back for 5 days to measure movement. At the end of the week, you will fill out short surveys and talk to the study team about your experience. You will receive $100 for completing the study.
