How do you manage adequate fluid and nutrition with someone who sleeps 16 or moore hours each day?

@CommunityMember9aa415, remember that it doesn't have to be fluid ingested. You can count popsicles, things like applesauce, watermelon, cucumbers and other finger foods. We have an article that may be helpful:

My husband will eat nutty buddy bars all day, bananas, unless I cook something and hand it to him to eat or tell him I am taking him out to eat he won’t eat. Instead of ice cream every night I am making thick fruit high protein yogurt as thick as ice cream- smoothies. We have a routine at night since he sleeps most of day. He takes dog to dog park at 4 till 5, while he is away I make dinner and it is re ad day when he gets home, we eat and then we watch the news, at 7 we watch a couple shows on Netflix till 8 then we pick a 2 hour movie movie and go to bed at 10. He is responsible for taking dog out potty, however this is something he is losing interest in. My goal for him is keeping him Mobil and social. We have bought new sketcher slip on shoes, still has trouble getting on sometimes but is helps him not shuffle when he walks. Every day is different but just like a child several redirection and routine and organization is key. Transition is certainly a part to with continuous repetition of directions and expectations

I have used "flavorings" such as Liquid IV in water which is kept beside his chair. Reminders to have a sip are usually met with at least a small amount being consumed with positive encouragement. Sometimes having a cracker or two makes it more tolerable as well as being a treat.
