Is your loved one with dementia sleeping a lot (too much)?

Your situation is much like mine , as my husband is sleeping 12hrs at night and naps morning and afternoon. He does take gabapentin that makes him sleepy. But he is still eating and drinking, and even helps me clean the kitchen after supper. He is delusional much of every day, and is always thinking we are having visitors or we are going somewhere. We are blessed at this stage , but certainly see why this disease is called, “the long goodbye!”
Prayers for all on this journey!

So interesting to read this. Over the last ½ year my husband has begun asking me if we have any visitors coming. This is so odd to me because we have never been very social animals and are not people who regularly have visitors. Except for my son and family, but he never says (specifically) 'is Neil coming to visit?' He also worries about intruders A LOT despite the fact that we live in a peaceful crime free suburban town. I have to raise my voice to have doors and windows open during the summer!
