Nocturnal vocalization is frequent in Parkinson’s disease patients with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behaviour disorder (RBD). We investigated the frequency of nocturnal vocalization and other sleep problems in patients with pure autonomic failure (PAF) and compared the results with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (IPD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). We interviewed consecutive patient–caregiver pairs with PAF (n = 13), IPD (n = 200) and DLB (n = 19), and ischaemic stroke patients (controls, n = 43). Nocturnal vocalization was similarly frequent in PAF, IPD and DLB. Other dream enactments and vivid dreams also were more frequent in PAF, IPD and DLB compared with controls. Excessive night-time awakenings and daytime sleepiness were frequent in IPD but rare in PAF and controls. Clinical manifestation of sleep disturbances, at least of RBD-like symptoms including nocturnal vocalization and other dream enactments, may occur in PAF, as in IPD and DLB.
