Mom with dementia (94) has been sleeping a lot more. I would would say at least 50% more. Is that one of the signs of end stage dementia?

She is old, she is tired. My mother is 94, very slight dementia, lives alone, still drives, pays her own bills, and more....yes, she does sleep more.

WillyB, it is not unusual for anyone who is in their 90's, with or without dementia, to sleep a lot more. At that age they are just plain tired, they have had a really long life.

I remember reading that for every birthday, it's like adding on another 10 years. Not much energy left [I know there are exceptions].

Could be end stage? Are there any changes in her medication? Has she been seen by her doc yet - maybe for blood work, etc.?

Or maybe it is just time?
