Tips for Managing Brain Fog

No he is 56yrs young but is learning disabled with autism. We both have issues with stress, plus the anxiety from the age difference, makes our issues double at times. My memory is almost completely gone now and has total recall on his side. With your help, I understand why he sleeps twelve hours on the weekends. He wakes himself only to go to the bathroom. How can he do that when in deep sleep? How do other members handle this situation?
Thanks

Hi . What a challenging situation. It's great that he wakes up to use the bathroom though. I have a relative with narcolepsy who couldn't wake up to use the bathroom until he was in his 20s. He has to regulate his liquid intake in the hours before bed as well.
