[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dad is 80, fairly good health, lives alone. He often tells me he couldn’t sleep at night and so he slept through most of the day (I am talking 2 pm or later). He also is a fan of walking so he tries to take walks every day, but sometimes he would just wake up and then “freeze up” as he calls it and not do much - just eat and watch YouTube videos. He then complains how he is feeling low energy because he “couldn’t make himself go out for a walk”. I just want to know if it’s normal? My mother passed a couple years ago; she would give him errands to run and he would would try to avoid it or sneak a little walk in, not picking up the phone when she was calling him (just to give you an idea of their dynamic). My only question is whether I need to be concerned at all. [/quote] It's normal. Look up sundowning. He's probably nearing the end of his life.[/quote]
