Is she active while she talks? Waving her arms or legs? At risk for falling out of bed?
Does she seem frightened or anxious during these talking periods?
Why is her talking a problem? Explain your worries and a little more about her nighttime activity, to get better answers.
BTW, is this talking new since the dementia began?
