Mum Sleeps On The Sofa
20 Answers
I've just found out that for the past couple if years my Mum has not been going to bed but sleeping on the sofa.
I've asked her why but she says she doesn't really know, just prefers it.
I know it's nothing to do with me really, it's up to her but it's not right surely. She lives with my Aunt (her sister) and she goes up to her room ok.
I know there's no answer really but just wanted to get it off my chest and gather some thoughts.

I'd bring it up casually in conversation, you will soon know if she is unhappy about sleeping in bed, and if not, then you know she is OK.

depends, Chris - I find it very easy to sleep on the sofa while watching TV history programmes, even when presented by the divine Mary Beard. Probably because I've just had dinner and a glass of wine. But I couldn't do it all night, my bones would be tied in knots by the morning. But if Darcey's mum gets a good night's sleep, where's the harm?
Working with the elderly, I have known a fair few that either sleep on the sofa or in a recliner chair, some even without the recliner. they don't appear to come to any harm.
Mind you, just 2 days ago, one of my ladies in her own home, slept fully reclined, had a lightning storm that tripped the trip switch. She was now stuck in a reclined position in an electric recliner and couldnt get out of her chair to let me in. Fortunately I gained access by other methods!
I imagine people have died through such a problem, scary thought, maybe they should be fitted with emergency back up!!
