Hi everyone
I am a live in carer, living with a lady who had a stroke and also has Alzheimer's. Lately the nights have been horrific. Up six or seven times between 11pm and 7am. Maybe to use the bedpan but more often she asks to be rolled over, what the time is, can she have a sleeping tablet, move her legs and the list goes on. Is this a normal sleeping pattern as the disease advances? She also calls me frequently during the day if I am out of sight for more than ten minutes. Anyone else have this going on? Many thanks.
