Brief Answer:
He might be having Benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
As per your description, it looks like Benign prostatic hyperplasia. Increased frequency of micturition could be due to this.
In my opinion, he should be consulted with a Urologist, get his prostate examined.Prostate can be removed by LASER now a days.Hope , he will be asymptomatic after prostatectomy.
Nothing to worry.
Hope I answered your query. If you have any questions, I will clarify further.
Wish him good health.

Brief Answer:
He should be shown to a Physician.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
His behaviour is due to old age.Please consult your physician, get him examined clinically. He will prescribe medicines for sleep which will reduce most of his complaints.
He might have developed dementia too because of old age.It is natural.
In my opinion, you should consult your physician and proceed accordingly.
