Thanks for the fast reply! My Dad is 96 and in remarkably good health. He takes lipitor, benicar, vesicare and 81 mg.of low dose aspirin. (He had two stents implanted in heart arteries in 2013.

Please give us more information such as the age of your Dad, and what are his medical issues.

If your Dad is in his late 80's or in his 90's, it is very normal of someone of that age to sleep.... they are very very tired, they had lived a very long life. Plus when one is older they tend to be on more medicine which has side effects of making one even more sleepy.
