My grandma has been sleeping a lot. she gets up around 5 am every morning and takes occasional naps throughout the day and is falling asleep by 8?

Remember: Fatigue and "sleeping a lot" are very nonspecific symptoms, with many causes. If you are worried about her, you should make sure this issue is reviewed with her primary care doctor so that a reasonable evaluation can be undertaken.
