Got a new event happening now.
Monique has become an even bigger sleeper in recent times. Sometimes till mid afternoon - She does of course wake during the night - quite frequently, wanders around then I persuade her to get back in bed.... OK that's all fine and you can argue that the night awakenings balance the day sleep...
What is concerning me is that I am not certain at all that during the morning/afternoon sleeping she is actually asleep. Some of the time but at others I can speak with her and she makes various excuses for not getting up.
My impression is that there is some sort of deep depression going on and staying in bed is her way of coping....? The last few days she has be arising about 16.00 and having her pills et al then we spend time together - I make dinner have some wine and then she wants to go to bed again around 22.00 - making a grand total of a 6 hour day awake plus some relatively brief night time excursions..
She cannot read, write, or even concentrate on TV but can still be quite 'bright' - a recent visitor asked if the diagnosis was correct after talking at her for and hour or so... That's the Ebixa kicking in I think which certainly improves the awareness although as I have posted before I am not 100% certain it makes for a happier person.. Just would like some feed back please.
