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

My husband sleeps so much during the day. I haven’t found the answer to what causes this. However, he does have a better day if he sleeps late in the morning. One time we had an early haircut appointment around 9:00. By the time she finished with both of us, he was so tired, like he lost all his energy, and we couldn’t get him to walk to my car. I had to call an ambulance to get him from salon to the car! I now never schedule any appointments before 11:00.

wow, @joastarnes, that must've been unsettling for everyone that we needed ambulance assistance to get from the salon to the car. How did you manage once you got home? Was he able to get into the house on his own with your assistance?

1pm is the absolute earliest time I can book a medical or other appt for my husband. That means he has to be up by 11 because he needs to dress and have a meal, then the careful walk out to the car. And he's exhausted afterwards, so NEVER two events in one day.
