| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer @caregiving Hi Denise! How is your day going? #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @AmyGoyer So far so good! I'm getting ready for #NCC19. :) #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer @caregiving I'm sure you are a bit crazed with the conference coming up! I had a wonderful "girls weekend" in my hometown in Ohio and am a bit crazed catching up on things today! #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer Ok I guess we will get started - please join in at any time! Let’s get starting chatting about #caregiving and #sleep… #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer Q1 Why is #sleep such a difficult thing for #caregivers to achieve when caregiving? #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A1 When I'm caregiving I tend to try to squeeze more into each day and there are SO many things on the list - so I tend to shorten the time I sleep so I can get more done. #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A1 Sleep seems to be the expendable item on the To Do list (if it is even on the To Do list!) #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @AmyGoyer: Q1 Why is #sleep such a difficult thing for #caregivers to achieve when caregiving? #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A1 Sleep is often interrupted when we are #caregiving for others - whether it's a phone call, or if our loved ones live with us & they get up multiple times every night. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @AmyGoyer Worry keeps me up!! And, it's soooo hard to relax after a go-go-go day. #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A1 I used to have a video and audio monitor by my bed so I could keep an eye on my parents. I felt like I slept with one eye open all night! And I woke up every time they made a sound even if it wasn't an emergency. Not super for getting deep sleep! #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer RT @caregiving: @AmyGoyer Worry keeps me up!! And, it's soooo hard to relax after a go-go-go day. #carechat |
 | Ginger 🏳️🌈 M.Ed, RDN @gingerbouvier1 @AmyGoyer A1 Stress, anxiety, chores. And listening through the night for our caree. #carechat |

| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @gingerbouvier1: @AmyGoyer A1 Stress, anxiety, chores. And listening through the night for our caree. #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer @caregiving A1 Worry is a big deterrence to good sleep! It's hard to turn our minds off! #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @gingerbouvier1 @AmyGoyer Hi Ginger! Thanks for being here today! #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @AmyGoyer: A1 I used to have a video and audio monitor by my bed so I could keep an eye on my parents. I felt like I slept with one eye open all night! And I woke up every time they made a sound even if it wasn't an emergency. Not super for getting deep sleep! #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer @gingerbouvier1 Hi Ginger!!! The chores are a good point - once Mom and Dad got to bed I still had so much to do! #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A1 Sometimes when caregiving I was so exhausted - I push myself to stay awake and have energy, so it's hard to turn that off when I really can sleep. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @AmyGoyer: A1 Sometimes when caregiving I was so exhausted - I push myself to stay awake and have energy, so it's hard to turn that off when I really can sleep. #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A1 #Caregiving also affects our health, which can affect sleep too. For example I have fibromyalgia & the stress of caregiving makes it flare up at times, and then there is more pain that keeps me from sleeping. #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A1 Sometimes caregivers have physical strain due to caregiving tasks, we get hurt or aggravate arthritis etc and then that pain keeps us awake too! #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer Q2 Why is #sleep so important for #caregivers? #carechat |
| Ginger 🏳️🌈 M.Ed, RDN @gingerbouvier1 @AmyGoyer Oh yes! I totally agree! #carechat |
 | Jinesh Jani @Jhjani09 This is Jinesh Jani #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving @Jhjani09 Welcome Jinesh! Good to see you! #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @AmyGoyer: Q2 Why is #sleep so important for #caregivers? #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A2 If we don't get good quality and quantity of sleep we are exhausted - we never get rested...and that robs us of the ability to cope with the emotional, physical and mental strains of caregiving. #carechat |
| Jinesh Jani @Jhjani09 A2 Sleep is important for so many reasons. One main is “Health” #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer @Jhjani09 Hi Jinesh! Welcome - glad you're here! We are chatting about the importance of sleep when caregiving! #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving A2. Sleep is good for our own health -- it can help us prevent Alzheimer's. #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer @Jhjani09 So true - sleep is the foundation for our bodies to heal, detox etc. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving A2. We can make those important and critical caregiving decisions when we get sleep. Without sleep, we cannot think straight and make decisions. #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer Honestly since my Grandmother and Dad had Alzheimer's, that's one of my main worries about not getting good sleep! #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer RT @caregiving: A2. We can make those important and critical caregiving decisions when we get sleep. Without sleep, we cannot think straight and make decisions. #carechat |

| Caregiving.com @caregiving RT @Jhjani09: A2 Sleep is important for so many reasons. One main is “Health” #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A2 Lack of sleep actually makes us less effective caregivers - we can't do our job as well, we can be short-tempered and more easily frustrated with our loved ones too. #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A2 It seems like as caregivers we place less importance on our sleep and more on our loved ones' sleep. Our sleep is just as important!!! #carechat |

 | Dr. Nancy Kusmaul @nancy_kusmaul Hi #carechat! Someone shared this study with me and I thought some of you might be interested. |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A2 Lack of sleep makes our own health outcomes worse, which may create a situation where we can't do the caregiving anymore. #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer @nancy_kusmaul Welcome Nancy! We are talking about the importance of sleep today - why do you think sleep is important for caregivers? #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A2 If we sacrifice sleep, then not only caregiving is affected but also all the other areas of our lives - work, self-care, other relationships, managing our finances, housework etc. #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer Yep! #carechat https://t.co/juZKUvGZTv |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving Welcome @SherryFleming2!! Thanks so much for joining us today! #carechat |

| Jinesh Jani @Jhjani09 A2 Lack of Sleep can also lower caregivers immunity and make them tired including ability to fight against health issues. #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer This is great Sherry! #carechat https://t.co/rIM1B4LluF |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer Q3 How does #sleep affect those we are #caregiving for? #carechat |

| Dr. Nancy Kusmaul @nancy_kusmaul @AmyGoyer Hi Amy! Sleep is important as a caregiver for the same reason you need to put your oxygen mask on first on a plane. You can't care for someone else if you don't take care of yourself first, and sleep is necessary for health and renewal. #carechat |
| Ginger 🏳️🌈 M.Ed, RDN @gingerbouvier1 A2 So we can think clearly, have energy, and have more patience to deal with whatever come our way. 😎 #carechat |

| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A3 I put a huge amount of effort into helping Mom and Dad sleep. When they were tired they had more pain, more difficulty with cognitive functioning, they were weaker and higher fall risk. #carechat |

| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A3 As we get older sleep disturbances are more common, which aggravates and even causes other health problems. #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer So true! https://t.co/iRn0qlGfpg |

| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A2 Sleep is an important way to "fill our tanks" - we can't run on empty any more than our cars can! #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A3 My Dad had Alzheimers, and the amount and quality of sleep he got directly affected his ability to function, communicate, understand, walk etc. My Mom had a stroke and it was the same for her. When they got tired all bets were off. #carechat |

| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer @gingerbouvier1 Yes! Patience is such a huge part of caring for others, when we are exhausted it's hard to pull patience out of nowhere! #carechat |

| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A3 When my parents slept well I slept well (they lived with me). #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A3 My sister had sleep apnea and when she got a CPAP machine many of her other health issues were improved because she was finally getting better sleep. She wasn't so exhausted all day long and had energy to fight her other health battles. #carechat |
 | Marilyn R @MarilynMovies A3. Hi everyone. I’m late but I’m here. Just got Mom down for a nap so this question is quite timely. Mom was recently suffering badly from insomnia and so I wasn’t sleeping either. Nw on a new med , she sleeps well most nights. #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer @MarilynRedfern Hi Marilyn! Welcome! So glad the nap came at a time you could join us! That's great that the new med is working so you are both getting better sleep. I SO know that feeling!!! #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer Q4 What are ways to enhance quality and quantity of #sleep? #caregiving #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A3 I've tried so many things over the years to help with sleep! For my Dad, lavender essential oil in a diffuser going all night in his room made a huge difference. He awakened less and was more rested the next day. I use it too! #carechat |
| Jinesh Jani @Jhjani09 A4 One way is to Monitor the type of diet. #carechat |

| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A4 Along with the lavender essential oil, my Dad's doctor (Dad had Alzheimers) told us to try Melatonin - a higher dose than most people use. That helped a great deal too. Didn't wake up as much and fell asleep happily. I use it occasionally when I'm jet-lagged. #carechat |

| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer @Jhjani09 A4 Great point Jinesh! What - and when - we eat can have a big effect on our sleep. Also how late we have fluids. Mom was up every 2 hrs to go to the bathroom until we focused on her getting fluids earlier in the day and cut way back on her evening fluids. #carechat |

| Marilyn R @MarilynMovies A4 I was just going to tweet about Melatonin. It was recommended for my Mom about a year ago. It worked quite well until recently when we had to add another med. still takes the Melatonin but not as high a dose. |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A4 Exercise can really enhance sleep too - getting enough exercise during the day helps make us tired later. We worked hard to keep Daddy moving. I think that's part of my problem often...sitting at computer too much... #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving A4. The temperature of our bedroom can impact our sleep. The right temperature means we don't wake up when we're too hot or too cold. #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer Yes! I sleep best at 68 degrees or cooler. Realized Dad did too or he got hot and sweaty. He slept longer and better when the room was cool. #carechat |

| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A4 Light is a big deal for sleeping - Any light in the room can make it harder to get deep sleep - even with our eyes closed our eyes detect light. Blackout curtains can make a HUGE difference! I got some recently and I wake up less. #carechat |
| Caregiving.com @caregiving A4. I also try to focus on gratitudes and positives before falling asleep. If my thoughts fall into the "nothing's going right" trap, I'm up all night. 😫 #carechat |
 | (((Let X=X))) 🌻 @espiegler Hi #carechat friends! I'm Eileen, former caregiver for my mom. On Q4: has anyone tried a gravity blanket? curious if they help w/sleep. |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A4 I started listening to a "Deep Sleep" meditation from @andrewjohnson after my Mom died, and I've used it ever since - I fall right asleep. And I play a rain sound too. I started doing it for Daddy too and he woke up less and wasn't scared when he went to sleep. #carechat |

| Caregiving.com @caregiving A4. I also try to avoid watching or reading scary stuff. I can give myself nightmares if the last information I receive before I sleep is terrifying. #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer @espiegler Hi Eileen! Great to have you join us. I got my nephew a gravity blanket (a heavy blanket) as he has anxiety. He says it helps him SO MUCH to fall to sleep better! I wish I'd tried it for my Dad. We always had a fairly heavy blanket on him though. #carechat |
| Marilyn R @MarilynMovies A4Mall walking gives Mom good exercise and provides a fun activity for us both. I als find that having an easing into bedtime routine helps a lot for getting Mom relaxed for bed. Most evenings she gets int her PJs and we both watch ‘Murder She Wrote’ #carechat |

| (((Let X=X))) 🌻 @espiegler @AmyGoyer Hi Amy! Sorry to be so late! That's good to know. I tried one and it felt sorta like sleeping under the lead thing the dentist puts over you during x-rays. It may just take some getting used to... #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer A4 I got a little trampoline in my bedroom - I can get a good 10 min workout with that and it does help sleep later! #carechat https://t.co/2qn17gIxsk |

| (((Let X=X))) 🌻 @espiegler @AmyGoyer A6 My mom loved listening to radio chat shows, like the BBC, as she was falling asleep - I get that it's comforting/soothing to hear friendly voices without having to engage. Made her feel less alone in the dark. #carechat |
| Amy Goyer @AmyGoyer Winding up #carechat for today - I'm going to be sure I get into bed earlier tonight - a regular schedule helps sleep also! Have a great day and a good night sleep! XOXO |
