Morning all, hope everyone coping as well as can be expected. Haven't been on talking point for some time, things have been pretty calm over the last few months.
Dad insists on getting up at 7.30 everyday if not earlier and then promptly goes down stairs and falls asleep in the chair for most of the morning ! Problem mum is having, is, thru the night, dad is very restless and insists on sleeping horizontally across the bed, when (if) he settles. Mum tries to get dad to go for a walk during the day, or potter around the garden if it's nice, but she finds it very difficult to get him to do anything, so excercise thru the day to try and encourage sleep is getting harder and harder ! She is wondering about getting 2 single beds so that there is less room for dad to be confused in, he has very little spacial awareness, but if she does go down this route, it feels like another chapter is closing, has anyone any advice or previous experience on this matter would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Rach
