How can you counteract fatigue and the sleep-wake rhythm?

Domanda
Good evening, how can you counteract fatigue and the sleep-wake rhythm in a person affected by Huntington’s Disease? My sister hasn't gotten back on her feet since she was admitted to hospital.
Thank you

Hi, unfortunately, the alteration of the sleep-wake rhythm can depend on various factors and any therapeutic intervention cannot ignore the general therapeutic framework and, above all, the lifestyle and the collaboration of family members. It should also be checked whether it is "fatigue" or, rather, as is unfortunately much more likely, apathy which is a lack of will to perform tasks, typical of the disease. The latter can be influenced by the drugs the person takes. Therefore, we encourage you to contact a competent clinic and remind you that our clinics are present in Rome and Milan, as well as in Campi Bisenzio (FI), Isernia, San Giovanni Rotondo (FG) and Catania and that you can contact us at the toll-free number 800.388.330 for further explanations.
