Keeping Him Busy

The next piece of the puzzle was to get him busy by going to Adult Day Care with my mother. By having daily mental stimulation, physical exercise, proper nutrition and social interaction, he finally had a reason to get up in the morning. Now instead of being a "sundowner" and being up all night wreaking havoc, he is tired out after a full day with fun activities and will sleep through the night, which allows everyone else to sleep also.
