Gesture & etiquette
This is a calm, professional inquiry — not alarm-raising. Take notes on their response. Follow up if they report poor sleep: 'Nanika kinikakaru yousu wa arimashita ka?' (Was there anything specific that seemed to be bothering them?)
Sleep quality is a critical health indicator for seniors that family members at home are best positioned to observe. Gathering this information helps coordinate consistent care between home and professional settings. Ask open-endedly — avoid leading questions like 'Did they sleep badly?'
