My DH is a stroke victim who developed vascular dementia. He is now at a fairly advanced stage (although only diagnosed for a year or so). He needs help toileting, dressing, eating, washing etc. All of this is fine.

The problem comes at night when he babbles incoherently for literally hours on end. In the past three days and nights I've had roughly two hours of sleep per night.

Anyone got any ideas? However oddball, I'll try it. I'm chuffing desperate and how he survived last night is thanks entirely to (a) my dog and (b) talking books playing loudly enough to drown him out.
