A:It's pretty tough being the caregiver. 
 But you also have to take care of yourself too. 
 Try taking a night off and see how it goes. 
 On a humorous note,  my sister and I used to have to remind ourselves that she won't remember if we visited or not. 
 A:What stage is she?
A:Could it possibly be sundowners syndrome? ? I know my Mom had issues at night . 
 like clockwork.
