Is it a problem that my loved one is sleeping most of the time?

Most people receiving hospice care will enter a stage of continuous sleep as the end of life draws near. The amount of time spent sleeping during the day increases over time, until the person is sleeping more than they are awake. And at some point, this will likely become a state from which they can’t be roused.

While this state is expected and not a reason to panic, feel free to discuss it with the hospice provider.
