My husband has alzheimers, recently, he has started falling asleep every time he sits down, but won't have it he's sleeping. If I try to wake him It's tho he just snaps out of it & talks as tho he's been awake the whole time. He's worse in the evening as he's tottaly confused when he wakes up. I don't know whether to waken him or just leave him & go along with him saying he hadn't been asleep. He sleeps at night, tho is quite restless & stops breathing sometimes, gulps, then breathes normally. Does any else have this with their lived ones?
Hi I care for my dad who has similar habits, he sleeps alot, i kinda realised best to let him sleep, it worries me as sometimes i think will he wake up thats the human instinct i guess, when he is awake fortunately he is ok and fine but he could sleep most of the day and spend half the night awake, its a mix and match as for the being lonely yes it goes with the carers work, i have no benefits either so care for the love of it that is my dad equals friend best mate and super hero
take care and i hope this has helped some
