I am taking care of the sleepy client again today. And instead of 2 hours it’s for 8 hours. She is still quite poorly and recovering from chest infection but I am happy to say I managed to convince her to have a wash and get out of bed today and have a meal downstairs. She continued to sleep after that but she is less drowsy compared to the other day. I have been talking a lot with her on her wakeful hours because I want her to be able to sleep better at night time.
Now she is sleeping again and I am trying to make the time go faster by keeping myself busy with only one side hustles.

Getting her up and moving around sounds like it will help. You sound very caring and hope she recovers from her chest infection.

I managed to make her eat a full meal too! The carer I relieved was so happy with me today. Hopefully she gets a better night.

She is good on her feet and really easy to help. People who help themselves are easy clients. The hard ones are those that can do things but somehow refuse to do so.

A sleeping client must be nice for you.

you are right. talk her so she can sleep longer but, yes, convincing her, that's not easy for anyone.

I did my best to keep her stimulated throughout the 8 hours so I hope she sleeps well tonight.

The live in carer I was relieving was so happy and said to me I done really well and was what the client needed today. I have been a night nurse I know the nightmare of a hyperactive night patient.
