My elderly mom sleeps all day and night.

There is not much information to go on here.
"Where" is she in her diagnosis? Sleeping could be an indication of many things.
Boredom.
Over medicating or wrong medications.
Medications taken at the incorrect time.
End of Life.
If she can still function is she able to get to Adult Day Care? This will provide structure, socialization.
Discuss with her doctor about medications, discuss the extended sleeping.
Who is monitoring her medications? Making sure they are taken at the right time and in the right way.
There are other signs of End of Life extended sleeping is just one. If she is on Hospice they can help answer questions. If she is not on Hospice you might want to make a call and see if she is eligible. They will help answer questions, help with supplies and equipment.

Is this new behavior? Have you consulted her doctor? Is Hospice involved?
