Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi dear

I had gone through your query.

Many a times excessive work and stress may affect your attention level and person become disorientated to time and place.

Sleep diprivation can also cause same symptoms and lead to disturbances in routines.

He needs tottaly rest and proper sleep.

He requires 6 to 7 hours of sleep to reduce stress


So 1st step is rest and sleep. After that if problem would persist then need to consult psychiatrist for more evaluation.

Psychological support is must.

I hope I have answered your question.

Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.

Thank you.
