        The sleeping is part of his dementia, their internal clock is disconnected so they stay up all night, then sleep in the day, it’s called sundowning.

        If someone is talking to him or he’s talking or engaged he can stay awake, with the help of adderoll, but as soon as the subject goes to where he’s not the center of attention he will pass out.
