Brief Answer:
What are her medications?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.

Sleeping 22hours day warrants review. I will like to have a list of her medications for review and more insights. This is often the most common cause of excessive sleepiness in the elderly.

Waiting on your response.....
