Do you have any advice about time confusion? That is confusing night times with day times?

My mother suffered from this. When I’d go into her room at her facility, she would have the shade pulled down tight. She was very paranoid and I think she did that because she was afraid of someone looking into her room. But, I’ve always felt this contributed to her confusion. I tried to make sure to pull up her shade or convince her to go to the lounge with me so she could see it was sunny and bright out. I even got her a talking clock that would say “AM” or “PM”. But, after a while the confusion was just too overwhelming for her. She got to the point she really had no concept of time or days.

Can you please provide a little more info: How old is your wife? Has she been diagnosed with dementia or ALZ or something else? Is this a new issue? What are her behaviors related to this problem?
