I do worry about this as he definitely gets dehydrated. I feel like I should do my best to get him up after 12 hours so he'll eat, drink and walk around. He is mid-stage, so I feel like he can be pushed a bit to be more active. He gets around pretty well. Benefits me too.

I have been able to keep my wife to a schedule. I get her up between 7am and 8am depending on what we have to do that day. She wants to sleep late but I insist she get up. She will nap on the couch during the day but no long sleep episodes. I put her to bed at 10 pm. It takes 20 minuets to do so with medications etc that she needs to have done. She sleeps most of the night except for the frequent trips to the bathroom. I usually take the 10pm to midnight time to wind down and take a bit of me time without the constant questions etc.

I have the same problem here. I manage to get him up in the morning for breakfast and meds but then he goes back to bed for a couple hours. I will say it’s a break from the repetitive conversations and constant questions but then he’s wakeful during the night when I’m out like a light and don’t hear him. This morning I saw that he’d been lying on the couch at some point in the night🙄

We usually go to bed around 10 pm. He won’t go to bed without me. It may be partly because our bedroom is upstairs. It takes him awhile to fall asleep which could be because he sleeps til noon, when I get him up. Sometimes he will get up on his own a little earlier.
