[quote=Anonymous]Sorry if I sound clueless, but I’ve only recently started overlooking my dad’s care (he is 79) and he often complains how he had a “terrible night” not sleeping. He also likes to sleep in and it’s a pain for him to get up before 10 am for sure, but anything to do before noon is always a feat. I am surprised because even though I don’t have much experience, I’ve heard that elderly people don’t sleep much and wake up early, as a rule. Why is it like that with my dad and how common is it? He doesn’t complain of any specific pain, he is healthy for his age, I don’t know what’s up with him. He is also very conservative with medications but sometimes can be persuaded. I don’t see the need to see his doctor for it but maybe the hive mind knows something incl OTC stuff I can make him try? [/quote]
