Thank you for your reply! How do you get anything done? My wife will sleep until afternoon and stay up until 2 or 3 AM. With those hours, I'm afraid to leave the house with her asleep. Then I poop out after midnight. She also has a very leaky bladder. And that causes lots of washing/dryer cycles a day. They want to put a device in her back in hopes it will reduce massive leakage. I'm resisting because I don't really want to cause her more disconfort.

I have given into my husband's sleep schedule as well. My problem is getting him to GO to sleep even with Melatonin. Sometimes it kicks in within 30 minutes and other times it doesn't seem to work at all because he's still awake at 3am. His neurologist told me about how the brain needs to "rewire" as well, And how he doesn't have to remember or anything like that when he's sleeping so I just let him sleep. Sometimes its 12-16 hours a day. His med schedule gets kinda wonky from time to time and his dr. knows that and she said just to do the best I can with all this. His wonky sleep patterns, medication taking and now the no nonsense noises he makes has been going on for a good 8 months and I hope to get some advise on how to handle these issues next week when we go to his appt. My main frustration is how it takes him soooo long to fall asleep because I can't get to sleep with all his noises he makes. He's lost interest in a lot of things so there isn't too much stimulation and I know that without any stimulation throughout the day, he's not tired when it comes to bedtime (10pm). I am very tired on a daily basis cuz I'm not getting the sleep I need to be the best caregiver I can be for him.
