Morning. Well, more or less.
Gesture & etiquette
Enter the room softly and stand at a respectful distance before speaking. If curtains are closed, ask before opening them — bright light can be startling and disorienting for someone just waking.
A gentle morning greeting that checks in without assuming the senior is fully awake. The three-part structure (greeting → sleep check → wakefulness check) establishes the interaction gradually, respecting the transition from sleep to waking. Avoid loud or sudden approaches.
