Wake up and go to sleep

in Caring For a Spouse or Partner
My DW stage 6, will get into a zombie trance and become restlestsin the middle of the night, or she will stand rigid and immovable by the side of the bed. When this happens I turn on the lights and take her for a walking tour of the house. This snaps her out of it, and she will get back into bed and go back to sleep. It's crazy but it works.
