@mandrake70 Lack of sleep can help memory issues raise their heads. Each person needs good quality sleep to rest and restore the body and brain. How much is the best amount of sleep, is a question for each person to determine. You have received some great responses here, and I would add my two cents, with your permission. Try journaling your thoughts, write down what is bothering you, what won't let you sleep at night. While you indicate your wife needs some help, and your daughter has asked for a therapist, you may also find it beneficial to get some counseling for yourself, even if your wife doesn't want individual or couples help. You may find it will help you face and deal with the issues you face. I hope you will come back and let us know how you are doing?
