Talked to her sister everyday and now wants to know what in the heck she would want to talk to her for. Doctors have ruled out stroke and are baffled. Just feel that they are missing something

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, Alzheimer's disease is progressive (Premature senility) mental deterioration that affects the memory and other intellectual abilities, but may not cause any sleep disturbances and if is so then it could be due to some psychological reasons, it may be insomnia, if the main concern is sleep disturbances then it may not be due to Alzheimer's disease, both the conditions Insomnia or sleep disturbances and Alzheimer's disease needs to be differentiated, else this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps, take care.
I find this answer helpful
