My dad has Alzheimer's and is staying with us for a while as mum has been in hospital.he has recently started having a shower or shave at 2 or 3am. He has an illuminated clock, a night light etc. I put him back to bed but he seems to have no concept of it being the middle of the night.

Any ideas as to how I can get him back into a pattern.
Many thanks

The answer is how your mom did it.

Your dad may be stressed to be out of his home with diferent carer. so some ideas can be: show sunset and sunrise; show stars and night /day noises; sunlight. If your dad are staying long, some routine will be necessary.
