Hi Morg3de. Could it be his drugs?My husband takes antipsychotic drugs for aggression along with Seroquel for sleepless nights. Upon the start of taking the new drugs he experienced very long periods of sleep (18 to 19 hours a day)....I went from having no time for myself and dreading the start of each day to feeling lonely and missing him. I was concerned and called his neurologist who assured me it was normal and would level off within a few weeks and it did! Recently experiencing sleepless nights again his neurologist increased the dosage of Seroquel. He now sleeps a total of 12 hours per day including nap time.
Alzheimer's is all about changing behaviors and for us it's about loss, acceptance and growth.
Sending warmest wishes to you and your dad,
Sandra

It could be the meds as I give the ones that cause drowsiness at night. 630pm. So a 12hr night might not be bad. Thanks 👏

hello, my mum as lost all sense of time, day and night. I am dreading when it gets light it will be even worse. we got a clock that changes it's image from sun, blue skies to moon and stars. unfortunately she doesn't understand.
She more than often goes bed about 3 or 4am then up at about 11am. we struggle when going round in the morning x

👍

I deal with the identical issue😱It really makes the daily schedule hard, but it does give me some peace👍
