She is in the moderate stage of Alzheimer's and still functions quite independently. I live with her and we have a split bedroom floor plan. After I go to sleep she gets up and wanders the house most of the night finally going to sleep for a couple hours or so in her recliner in the living room.
One option might be to switch her regular bed for a daybed. It's wider in the cushion area than a sofa, but it also has a back as a sofa does so it can protect against winter chills.
I slept on the sofa for several months when my mother stayed with me and I gave her my bed. I actually grew to like it. For an older person who might be vulnerable, a sofa provides a backing protection.
If she keeps you awake at night, this is a problem.
If she is apt to take a few extra pills at night, or turn on burners, etc., this is a problem.
Could you provide a little more information?
