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.

She is now laying in that bed and pouting. She has been cursing me for the last 5 hours for putting her where she had already slept.

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

Some people with dementia experience ‘sundowning’ – a state of intense confusion and distress that typically occurs in the evening. They may feel a strong need to go home, even if they are already at home, or to collect their child from school, even if they are grown up. Having a doll or toy animal to focus on at this time of day may ease these feelings of distress and insecurity.

Thanks for checking on me Fliss... I have had a few rough days. I feel like I have not slept for a month. Mum was more settled last night, so managed to get an early rest💜
