[quote=Anonymous]Did she have this issue before her fall?How much is she peeing when she gets up every 90 minutes? I usually sleep through the night at home, but when I stay in a strange place, I wake up. Once I wake up, I have to get up and go pee or I can't fall back asleep. I also wake up frequently during the night if I've injured some body part. Especially when I roll over onto it, it hurts and the pain wakes me up. She might already be on too much medication, but it might be worth trying a sleeping pill at night. It might knock her out for at least 4 hours. Not great, but could give you a longer stretch of sleep. If a sleeping pill is too much, try something like Tylenol PM. It works for me when I have some muscle pain that would otherwise wake me up. Is she shifting her weight onto her shoulder during her sleep? If so, that might be what is waking her up. See if you can position some pillows or something else to prevent her from rolling over onto her shoulder. [/quote]
