2. How to deal with a person with dementia who wakes up in the middle of the night?

Let’s look at another example

It is 3:00 in the morning, Vani wakes up and starts walking around the house. Her daughter-in-law, Geeta, is sleeping. Vani paces throughout the house and then goes to Geeta and wakes her up. Vani asks: “Where are we? I want to go home”. Geeta is upset, because she has a long day at work tomorrow. Geeta says: “mother, you need to go back to bed, it is 3:00 in the morning.” Vani says: “I am not sleepy.” Geeta yells: “I can’t take this anymore.”
