Had to give Mom a sleeping pill last night after she kept popping out of her room every half hour. Three times in less than two hours. This was the fourth night in a row. I feel bad about it because the pill affects her memory (just what she needs) and leaves her exhausted and foggy the next day despite (or maybe because of) getting fourteen uninterrupted hours of sleep.
We have a doctor's appointment scheduled for next week. I'm thinking of asking him for a placebo and seeing if the psychological effect of just taking a pill will cause her to relax and sleep without all the side effects.
Otherwise, I hate the thought that the treatment for one issue is aggravating another.
