Stage 6c and sleeping most of the time (is it ok???)

Emma :)

My father is in stage 6c Alzheimer's :( he sleeps most of the day and night. Advice on what to do plzzz

he seems comfortable and says he is getting a good rest. I don't think he is aware of how much he is sleeping. HELP :(

It's not unusual. I've linked to a keyword search for you so you can see :)

Or at least I'm trying to…not sure if the hyperlink is staying active. Anyway, you can use the magnifying glass on the upper right to search for 'sleeps a lot' and it will get you to the threads.

Ditto here, my partner is sleeping at least twenty hours out of twenty-four, also late stage 6. Let him be. At least he's comfortable and safe when in bed.
