Why does my 94 year old Mother sleep all day?

againx100 Dec 2021
From your profile, you say she has depression - how long has she been depressed? Is she being treated for it? My mom is on a bit of duloxetine/cymbalta and is seems to help a little. Many depressed people sleep a lot.

And you say she has sleep disorder. Does she have sleep apnea? If so, is she on a CPAP? Or does she just sleep poorly? Either way, these things contribute to sleeping during the day.

She sleeps all day - does she sleep all night too?

How long has this been going on?

Is she awake at night? Have you discussed with her doctor? Did she start on any new medications recently? Does she have a diagnosis of dementia or other health issue? More info would be helpful.

Because she is too old to do anything else!
