Sleeps Most of Day

My mom been diagnosed with dementia 1 year ago. She's on Aricipt & Namada - and hasn't had any problems with the meds (on them for the year).

She's lately been sleeping most of the day. She gets up, has coffee, then goes back to bed and can sleep until almost dinner time. Is she going into the advanced stage? What can we expect?

What is she doing at night? It's very common to have sleep disturbances at night. Or sometimes a med adjustment will help. Having her take some of the meds at night instead of in the morning may help.

How old is your Mom? it is possible that the Meds make her sleep more, perhaps you could ask her Doctor if its the meds I know some of them can.
