My father is 88 with undiagnosed dementia. He was napping more and more frequently (no surprise) but it seems like lately, and rather suddenly....he rarely naps and not for long. He was napping 3-4 times per day, & nodding off in his chair often. Now he doesn't nap at all most days. Nothing else has changed....any thoughts as to why?
My mother couldn’t sleep when she was anxious.
A year later, and deeper into the dementia, she naps all the time.
hopefully he suddenly stopped napping for good reasons. maybe he’s suddenly interested in some things?
the napping sometimes comes from boredom.
pre-xmas hugs to you and your father :) !!
