Dementia and sleeping

Problems with sleeping are a common occurrence for people with dementia or Alzheimer’s. Some people sleep during the day and are awake and restless at night. Some are no longer able to tell the difference between night and day, while others are simply not as active as they used to be and therefore need less sleep. This can be difficult for caregivers who may need help to manage sleep problems.
