Stress: Im sorry to hear your grandmother has dementia. Stress can cause a lot of different issues including problems with sleep energy or even sometimes aches and pain. See a psychiatrist or your physician for further workup and appropriate referrals and treatment. They may even be able to provide resources for your grandmother.
