6 hours within 24 really isn't too bad. often older folks will take these quick little cat-naps during the day, thus, throwing off their night time hours. keeping them busy during the day with fresh air, walking or anything physical, with a little socializing thrown in, would help with a deeper and longer sleep. just make sure he's a happy man and knows that he is loved.

Yes, that is my guess too that he is probably getting in a few little naps during the day which cut down on his need for sleep at night. Adult Day Care is a great solution for keeping him busy for several hours a day. Find out more about that via: www.nadsa.org
