If you're not getting enough sleep, ask for help with caregiving. Family members or close friends may be able to watch your loved one some nights. Or you could talk with a member of the healthcare team, a social worker or your local Alzheimer's association to find out what help is available in your area. If you don't think that you have the patience or energy to take care of a loved one with dementia, let your family or a healthcare professional know.
