[@srjwildcat3589]

His schedule would about kill me Danielle. I'm a night owl, so the all night I could deal with, but then 7:30am too? NOPE 😅 I don't understand why he doesn't sleep more. Mist of the patients I've dealt with, including my Grandpa they tend to sleep more and more as the disease gets worse. In fact many by the end are nearly semi-comatose. My Grandpa slept SI much and on occasion would come out of the fog. Got worse & worse over time. Seems like Ed is one of those exceptions. The worse his disease is getting the less he sleeps. Hope you are well. Take care of yourself too. Dan's door is open yet he sleeps through it all. Still can't figure out how you have the all night shift & the early morning shift. 😅 Heck, does your shift ever really end? 😅 Take Care/Stay Safe ✌

[@susanparker4550]

I think Ed does sleep, he seems to get tired after dinner at about 5.30pm but is usually told to wait a bit longer before going to bed, so I'm guessing he goes at about 7pm. On one video he got up & said to Danielle "What are you doing still up? It's late, aren't you tired? Aren't you going to bed?" I thought it must be the early hours but it turned out to be 8.30pm!!!!! Then I think Dan said his dad usually gets up between 8 & 10am, nothing wrong with that & it seems Ed does sleep but needs several bathroom visits, it's after that he seems to sometimes go walkabout, so it's hard, must be very hard for Danielle especially if Dan sleeps like a baby throughout it all, wake up Dan & give Danielle a lift! You'd be lost without her or it sounds like 😂 ❤ x

[@srjwildcat3589]

@@susanparker4550 Oh, I know he sleeps, just doesn't seem to be a lot as Danielle is always up all night with him. Agree 💯 about Danielle. Tell her that ALL the time. They'd be lost without her. Told her to get his A$$ up to help. 😂

They do things the way that they do for a reason. They learned the best ways from experience. 99% of the time, Ed chooses to go back to sleep. He rarely gets up before 8:00, so it would be logical to assume that he's going to want to go back to sleep.
