Sleeping until the sun sets
Wondering why it is night time
When he wakes up
The internal clock back to front
And inside out
Sun-downing for much of the day
Awake all night
So let us
Clash the symbols
Dance more often
Sing loudly
Cook and eat together
Anything to stay awake
No more sitting in an armchair
Nor allowed to nod off
But living a normal life during the day
So that all of us
Can sleep at night

Live well, be active, take part…and then sleep well. Great short reminder from Kate Swaffer.

Good for us all to remember, as you say… stay active and engaged, regardless of our health, if at all possible x

My husband’s sleep/wake cycle is disturbed, which means that I rarely have a solid night’s sleep. I have tried many things to try to engage him but he is unresponsive. He just seems to have given up and my heart aches.
