I took care of my mother who had Alzheimer’s
disease for fourteen years, during which we lived in the same house. One of the most difficult aspects of living
with an Alzheimer’s patient is that the caregiver can’t sleep well. My mother
often woke up in the middle of night and caused trouble. In those days, my wife
and I never got enough sleep.
Whenever we woke up, we would look at the
clock as soon as possible. We were afraid that, because we’d slept at an
unusual time, we had overslept and might be late for an important engagement.
Oversleeping was the worst excuse for being late. It could harm our reputation.
In those days, I was always searching for a
light-emitting clock. If our clock emitted light in the dark, we could know
what time it was. I looked for that kind of clock in many shops and online. But
I couldn’t find one.
We finally found a solution. We bought a
digital photo frame that had a clock mode. It emitted light. We hung the frame
on the wall in our bedroom. We could tell what time it was even in the middle
of the night.
Now that we have put my mother in a nursing
home, we sleep well every night. But we still use the digital photo
frame/clock. We recommend it to you…
I have just checked on the internet. They’re
selling light-emitting clocks at low prices. Inventions always come too late.
