@pjw5610 My aunt used to do that, but it was from exhaustion. What is your wife's age? It could be narcolepsy as was already stated above. I would be fearful of her falling asleep while driving. Keep us posted. I am sorry she gets angry with you. Is she unaware that it is happening?

Thanks for the reply. She is 82. She is aware of the recurring super-naps. It's not unusual for her to be awake most of the night. This can't be good for her heart, I need to find a way to convince her to get help. She denies narcolepsy @diverdown1
