Hello, and thanks for your question.
Your mother is suffering from delirium. This is a temporary condition that usually occurs during medical illness in hospital. It may be due to an electrolyte imbalance. Once thus is taken care of, your mother will return to normal. Don't worry!

Brief Answer:
Followup
Detailed Answer:
She is still delirious -- abnormal sleep is expected in this condition. A normal CT is reassuring, but the source of the delirium still needs to be identified, such as an electrolyte imbalance. It is okay if she skips food for a couple days in order to sleep, she will be okay.
