Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
As we age, we all get tired quicker than back when we were younger. I know for myself, a heavy lunch will have me in the sleep zone rather quickly if I am just sitting watching TV. It's normal part of aging, not part of dementia.
The internet is full of "signs of dementia". Napping more isn't really one of them. Do enjoy playing around with googling and testing yourself. For instance, forgetting you ate the butter isn't the same as putting the butter in your underwear drawer.
We eat less and we sleep more in the normal aging process, and that's a fact. My Dad was mid 90s when he told me that he was always exhausted. He felt as though he had just gardened the entire day and wanted to sink into bed, but hadn't done anything at all. He said he was longing "to go" because he wanted only to nap, and he longed for "the last long nap". He made himself get up and around for mom's sake, but ate little, lost weight; she always had him on the scales. He had minor anemia; the doc said he'd run tests if Dad wanted, but that if "something was found" did my dad honestly want "treatment", and he didn't. So they kept an eye on it. I will assume you have been to your doc to be sure you don't have something like an anemia going on?
It's a fact we slow down. I at 81 am well aware that after being awake at 6 a.m., up and about 8 a.m. to 2 or 3--I just kind of collapse with a book or the kindle, and I am napping before I know it. I would call what you are experiencing normal. Stay as active as you are able to keep those muscles, joints and tendons stretched and and oiled up; feed that bone marrow by as much activity as you tolerate. But you and I are past our "sell by date". Every day we can feel "decent" now is gravy.
Rogalik, you are supposed to remain anonymous and not give out personal info. You question is also wilt spelling and grammar errors. Please speak to your doctor about your concerns.
It's possible that you aren't getting good quality sleep at night. I'm 65 now but was incredibly drowsy during the day starting in my late 40s, and couldn't sit down to read a book or watch tv early in the evening without falling asleep. My primary doc suggested a sleep study and sure enough I had apnea. I use a CPAP and get excellent quality sleep now every night. My Mom snored all her life (she's never been overweight) and as I gained weight in life my snoring got worse. Woke up feeling exhausted.
Maybe at 90 you're not interested in going through a sleep study but poor quality sleep cumutively over time may contribute to dementia (according to studies). At 90 there aren't many options for increasing energy, so this may be an option for you to investigate. If you've ever been told that you snore, or you wake yourself up at night coughing/choking, or never dream or are a very light sleeper, then you may have apnea. Now I sleep through thunderstorms and don't wake up to pee. My CPAP was literally life-changing. Talk to your primary doctor about it.
