I'd try and put a lamp in his room and leave it on.my julann and her son are the worst about turning out lights I can understand my wife wanting the lights on in the living room til it's time for bed wich is about 9 then I leave my lamp on til I know she is asleep then I will turn it out but heaven forbid I turn the TV off and she will wake up in a new York minute likes the TV on and the sound down something she says comforts her so I just keep my mouth shut and find away to cut spending money so we can have lights and heat it beats arguing about it

I use many night lights, and that helps. There are also motion sensors that you can put on. The lights will come on when he enters the room and will go off after no movement is detected for a while. They even have motion-sensored night lights. They often have vision problems, so the light keeps them safer

either nite lights or put baby door knob things on door knobs so he cannot go in certain rooms or outside....and for your room a baby gate...????

I use the motion sensor night lights i our bedroom and in the living room leading to our second bathroom which John often prefers to use for some reason. We also have a motion sensor light in each bathroom. I think they help a lot with lessening Johns confusion and risk of falling at night. Hope some of the suggestions help Take care.

It is common for Alzheimer’s people to want lights on. I think it makes them feel secure. Bob has lots of lights on when we are awake, even sometimes when it is light out. I can turn off lights in rooms he doesn’t often go in. I like to leave a light on in the master bath at night so he can see where he is going and have a nightlight in the bedroom. It is pretty light in the bedroom at night. I bought a 3D sleep mask because I need it dark. It has foam around the outside to keep the mask off your eyes, and you can open your eyes inside the mask. It keeps everything very dark! Best sleep I’ve gotten for a long time. I gave one to my SIL to try because she wasn’t sleeping well at night. She tried it and loves it. She couldn’t believe it made such a difference! Guess my advice would be to keep a low wattage light on in his bedroom, bathroom and hall to the bathroom. Close doors to other rooms. If he keeps turning unnecessary lights on, I guess your only option would be to get up and turn lights off or put locks on the doors. We have a very large electric bill too. I try to turn off what I can without him being uncomfortable.
