My wife gets 12-13 hours of sleep at night and is now starting to sleep during the day. Is this normal with dementia?

Normal.
It is also one of the signs of decline that hospice used to keep my Husband on Hospice when it came to re-certify him.
I think towards the end my Husband was sleeping 22 to 23 hours out of the 24.

Yes, as her disease progresses she will sleep more and more.
