My wife is diagnosed with Semantic Alzheimers for 2 years and is progressing. She now sleeps a lot during the day and usually at night although she sometimes is awake and wondering around.
In the morning she often wakes weeping and I try my best to reassure her, that can take about 2 hours before she is able to come downstairs for some breakfast. I have asked our GP if her meds can be reviewed to help with this.
My question is do I let her sleep on in the morning if she does seem to want to wake up? I don't want to make her unhappy but also worry her sleep pattern is all out of synch. Any advice? I am really struggling with knowing what to do for the best for her.
