We have been up all night again.

Mom was tired and wanted to go to bed. I walked her to her bedroom and pulled the covers down and she said she's already slept there.
I explained that she had slept there last night and she said she couldn’t sleep there again. The sheets are washed and changed every day so it’s not like something was dirty.

I can't seem to get any sleep. Don’t know what to do anymore… 😓
