Hypokalemia is apparently a potential Selegiline side effect, and one of the more commonly experienced symptoms of suboptimal potassium levels is reportedly insomnia. (as cellular potassium levels are apparently highly involved in sleep regulation) Evidently this has been the set of conditions that I've met up with. I should further note however that since hypokalemia was only reported in 2% of trial patients, this condition is likely greatly dependant on individual body chemistry and possibly to a larger extent, dietary potassium intake.
