Likely drugs ... see that doctor again and have the meds adjusted ... don't go for sleeping pills though because they can kill you when mixed with other drugs.... just ask Heath Ledger....

It is cycles the patient goes thru! My Mom could stay awake a couple days and nights and sometimes sleep for the same amount of time.  It may be amusing to some of you now, but I hope you never have to witness it with a loved one!

sometimes they mix up their nights with their days. Plus they're very hyper.......always leaving the building and walking up the road. I worked with many altzheimers patients as an LPN in nursing homes. A lot of the men were violent .
