Brief Answer:
Avoid bed in daytime, clarify your query

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thanks for writing to us.


From your query I understand that you are getting excess sleep in daytime even after sufficient night sleep. If I am not getting it right please clarify and elaborate your query.

This can occur at age of 90 either due to some physical problem or due to stress.

As you told that you are good at night sleep, there is less likely possibility of any sleep disorder.

To help you further I need more information.

- What are usual timing of sleep before and after the problem?

- How much time do you spend in bed during day time?

- Do you have any physical problem?

- Are you taking any medicines? If yes, provide details.

- Is there any other associated symptom?

- Do you have any stress in life?

- Due to this problem how is your overall life and daily schedule affected?

I will be happy to help further after your response.

Regards,

Dr. Chintan Solanki.
