hi , looking into the history, she must be having neuropathic problems which may be interfering with her sleep. second possibility may that anti depressants are keeping her asleep during day time so she is not able to sleep at night. look into her glycemic status, keep sugars under control, treat her neuropathy if it is there, and take care that she is active during daytime.
