How Can Lewy Body Dementia Be Treated?
My husband has been diagnosed with LBD for the last 5 days he has been sleeping for 20 to 23 hours a day. I wake him to eat and he goes right back to sleep. He has done this before but it usually only lasts for a couple days. At times he has the opposite problem of not sleeping, going 4-5 days with just a few hours of sleep. Should I be concerned?
