How to Sleep Better

Better Now

Light meals and distractions from the routine seem like positive steps. Should work for the caregivers as well as those receiving the care!

Besides never sleeping myself I am now hearing from my mom that she simply does not sleep and she says she has to get up to go to the bathroom numerous times every night.. The hardest part is she will not take medication and she will not go to the doctor.. Since she is now finally at 82 retired I think alot of her issue is she does not feel busy and needed so she is not active enough mentally or physically to get worn out so she would sleep plus now she is taking fulltime care of my dad who is 88. Any sleep suggestions besides pills would be great to hear about. I will try the mindbodyseries.com with Dr. Lawless.. The other twist to this is our company is TenderCare Beds. We make patented headboards for hospital beds to make them pretty and look normal. Our customers say they "sleep better" once we install them...ha! Luckily mom and dad do not need hospital beds but isn't it interesting how we help people sleep better but my own mom just can't get a decent night's sleep!! Got to keep a sense of humor to make all of this not be overwhelming!

I have to reccomend the Sleep Series at www.mindbodyseries.com - it's Dr. Phil's mentor Dr. Lawless and I hadn't slept in over 20 years without using some kind of sleeping pill or another. Now I'm sleeping without anything except the CD - and I'm rested now - I think I went through the last 20 years in a fog. Thanks Dr. Lawless and Dr. Phil!

What about the reverse? Sometimes Daddy sleeps until supper time. We can't get him up, when we try he says he just going to lie there until he dies. Around 4 or 4:30 he will get up because he is starving. Anyone else experienced this?
