We cannot care for someone 24 hours without getting a decent night's sleep ourselves. Cannot be safely done.
My first suggestion is to discuss this with the doctor, and see if there are any suggestions for helping your loved one sleep through the night.
Next, is there any way you can get some in-home help at night? Ideally you would go to bed and this person would take over keeping loved one safe.
Is it possible for your loved one to attend a day program for part of the day? If you could use this time for a nap that might be helpful. But it really doesn't fully replace an uninterrupted night's sleep.
Are you considering a care center placement?
