How can I get a good nights sleep while caring for my spouse?

My husband gets up 3-4 times a night to go to the bathroom. He needs my help getting out of bed. I pull him out and help him to his wheel chair. Depends help, however he wets the bed at least 3 times a week. I AM EXHAUSTED!

It sounds like you may need to hire some in-home help and have separate bedrooms. You can only keep this up so long and your own health will be compromised. I know this is a hard choice, but there comes a time when we can only do so much. Please look into some kind of help. Your own health is important, too.
