During two sleep studies for RBD, I was unable to sleep. One suggestion for a third sleep study is to take a Valium or Xanax before the study. Won't that skew the results of the study?

HISTORY:

I started 10 years ago with RLS. Then eight years ago - RBD. Over the next few years I was told I had low testosterone and/or diabetes (neither is true). This was in addition to having dysthymia (chronic depression) since 5 years old. Finally, NIH and a local neurologist concluded I have Parkinson's Disease.

Currently, I take Sinemet twice a day, two anti-depressants a day (one supposedly helps Parkinson's), and a blood pressure medication. I still frequently fall out of bed, have RLS/RBD, and hit my wife while we sleep.
