Mom has suffered from insomnia on and off over the past two weeks. normally she gets up a couple of times during the night to go to the bathroom but this is different. This weekend she got up both nights around midnight (she normally goes to bed between nine and ten), fully dressed and asking where the daylight was. Saturday night she went back when I convinced her it was still the middle of the night but she was back again an hour later and stayed up on the couch 'til three. Sunday was almost as bad except she knew it was nighttime and she had insomnia. She stayed up until three again and only went to bed because my brother got up and chased her off to her room.
Last night she promised me she would not come out again (except for the normal bathroom breaks) and she kept her word. I don't know if she actually slept (we'd had a busy day, with a doctor's appointment and everything and she was very tired) but she kept her word.
I intend to ask the doctor if the accumulated effects of the Exelon patch might be giving her too much nervous energy and disrupting her sleep cycles.
