Default No sleep

I often visit my father as he's old and suffers numerous health issues. He sleeps in one room, his wife, my stepmother, sleeps in another. I sleep on the couch. He constantly gets up at night and sleeps about all day. Here's our common nights when I'm here.

He gets up at 1AM, bangs around, cuts lights on., gets his snacks..I wake up.

"you awake son"

Yea

He goes back to bed, gets up about 3AM, bangs around, lights on...
I wake up.

"you having problems sleeping son"

He goes back to bed, I'm wide awake now, but think I'll try to get an hour sleep. He wakes up at 6AM

"whys everyone in bed, get up lazy people and get to work"

So I get up..About 8AM he tells all he's tired and going back to bed, for no one to wake him up until lunch...

Then he wonders why I walk around in a daze when I come visit...
