Bbwillia, at 97 years old a person is very tired, they have lived a very long life.
You could check and see if any medicine the person is taking is making him/her sleepy. I know my antihistamines and blood pressure meds can zone me out if I am bored at the time.
My parents use to brag that they only needed 6 hours of sleep a day. Of course they forgot to add in the long nap after breakfast, the long nap after lunch and the one before dinner, and the nap after dinner. Both were in their mid-to-late 90's.
