I wrote Someone to Watch Me Sleep to shine a light on a disease that touched my life in the most personal way—Lewy Body Dementia (LBD). My mother lived with this devastating illness, yet I didn’t recognize the signs until it was too late. LBD is the second most common form of dementia, but it remains the least known and most frequently misdiagnosed. My mission is to raise awareness and help others recognize the often-missed symptoms—especially beyond memory loss—so that families can seek accurate and early diagnoses. With proper understanding and timely care, we can give our loved ones the dignity, support, and treatment they deserve, and possibly slow the progression of this cruel disease.
