Awake During Hours of Sleep |
| How can
you respond to someone who is unable to sleep during the night? Assess what
went on in the life of the person that day (or even week or month). * Was the
person involved in the activities of the day? Were
they activities the person enjoys? Was there
a lack of meaningful activity? * Did the
person need more interaction or companionship? Should
the person be involved in more one-on-one activities? * Does the
person sleep too much during the day? * Is the
person looking for someone or something? * Does the
person need to use the restroom? * Does the
person recognize their surroundings? * Is the
person hungry? A good way
to respond to this behavior: · Address the person by their name. · Maintain eye contact when
communicating. · Present one question at a time. · Ask simple questions- “Do you want
a sandwich?” · Use pictures or a visual representation
of what you are talking about (show them the sandwich). |
