Oh, morning. Couldn't sleep well.
Gesture & etiquette
Open curtains slowly to let light gradually in — sudden brightness disorients. Speak softly at first, normal volume as they orient. Sit on the side of the bed if welcomed, allowing them to lean if needed. Have slippers positioned for easy stepping into.
Wake-up assistance for seniors requires patience — orthostatic hypotension (sudden blood pressure drop when standing) is common and dangerous. 'Yukkuri okite itadaite daijoubu' (take your time getting up, it's fine) prevents rushing. Sit on the bed edge for 1-2 minutes before standing. Have water and any morning medications ready nearby. Ask about sleep quality as a baseline assessment.
