I'm normally found over on the Property / DIY boards, but I was wondering if anyone could help calm me down a little. Apologies for the length, and thanks in advance to anyone who gets through the whole post.
I'm staying with my parents at the moment and just bumped into my dad on the landing. I assumed both of us were heading for the loo.
He seemed a bit disorientated, and looked a bit lost. I said to him to go ahead and use the loo before me, but he said he didn't need to - he just was going downstairs to check something. Instead, he proceeded to head towards the spare bedroom.
I told him that wasn't heading downstairs, and asked him was he okay. He said he was, so I told him to get back into bed. He then proceeded to head to the loo, before coming out and going back to his bedroom. He sat on the bed and again I asked him was he okay - again, he replied he was, he was just tired. He then got into bed and turned the light off.
I went and spoke to my mum, who hadn't come up to bed yet. She went to check on him and again he reiterated he was fine, just very tired. She told me not to worry - he's half asleep, had too much to drink and is exhausted from working so much this week.
For context, he's 64. Generally in reasonable health, but has poorly controlled Type 2 Diabetes (coincidentally, he has a doctor's appointment tomorrow for same.) As mentioned, he's had a fair bit to drink tonight, and has been working a lot this past week (he does shift work, so had 3 nights on, one day off, and then two 12hr day shifts, finishing earlier on at 7pm).
Could anyone offer me some reassurance? My logical mind is telling me that alcohol + tiredness + half asleep = disorientation, but my anxious mind won't let me sleep for worry.
