My husband sleeps on and off all day and night on a short love seat. Can he be getting a good night's sleep?

If he's not getting a good night's rest, could this cause him to sleep on and off all day?

Sarah, I see by your profile that your husband is 91 years old... of course he is going to sleep a lot, he's lived a very very long life, he is just plain tired.

My parents are in their 90's, they claim they sleep only 6 hours at night, up at the crack of dawn.... but every time I stop by their house and go in, both are sound asleep on the sofa :)

My 81-year old dad sleeps on a long sofa and swears he is ok and getting a good night's sleep. I still wish he would alternate between the sofa and a bed but can't convince him to move into one of the rooms. Sigh.

And yes he sleeps on and off all day (although he has medical issues playing a part) unless he is on the go or busy around the house.
