Rough night last night.

CP went to bed at 9:30. At 11:39 he got up and was wanting something to eat and drink. We helped him get and drink and tucked him safely back in bed. At 1:20 he got up and didn't know why he was up. Re-oriented him to the fact that it is the middle of the night and he needed to be in bed. Again, tucked him safely back in bed. At 4:15....we were rocketed out of bed at the sound of the TV and radio in his room at the loudest volume possible. He was fully dressed sitting in his recliner tapping his fingers on the arms of the chair. We turned the TV down, turned off the radio and asked what he was doing and he stated that he was wide awake. We again re-oriented him to the fact that it was in the middle of the night and tucked him back in one last time. He then got up at 6:30 to stay.

All day he was not himself, sure it is partly due to the lack of sleep. He is talking to himself and just not there. He wanted to take several naps today but we kept waking him up and telling him that he couldn't nap because we wanted him to sleep all night. He got a little frustrated with us over this because he is tired. We'll see how it works.
