Hello and thank you for the question,
You may be getting alzheimer's disease but you also may just be losing brain function because of all the TV watching. Also you are not getting enough sleep. Please consider sleeping 8-9 hours daily, watching no more than 1 hour of TV daily and find a hobby or outdoor activity that you like. Take a multivitamin and exercise daily even if it is only walking for 30 minutes. If you do these things I think you will be feeling better soon. If not, see a doctor for an exam and blood tests.
Regards
