My husband has had Alzheimer's for 9 years. After so long a time wishing he would just take a nap during the day so I could get something done, he is now sleeping 18 to 20 hours a day. Now that I do have the opportunity to get laundry, cleaning, etc. done, I am worried that he is sleeping too much. My clinical self says, "thank God for small favors".
Has anyoneelse dealt with this? Is this normal behavior with Alzheimer's patients?
Our mom's MRI score is 18.9. That is a hard thing.
