My husband has Alz and makes hand movements during his sleep as if he is trying grab something or someone. He also talks to someone in his sleep. I only notice this at the beginning of his sleep when I am still awake but when I am also sleeping, I do not know if he does. Has anyone seen this with their loved ones? Is this the beginning of some nasty delusion that is about to manifest itself during waking moments? He had delusions before and they were frightening.
Mine sings in his sleep. He wears bule tooth headphones and I guess he's listening to the Stones b/c sometimes he bursts into song. It's pretty disconcerting--you think someone is asleep and they start to sing.....
I don't know if Gabapentin is OK for ALz patients. It does help my hubby to sleep better, but it doesn't kick in for a few hours.
