I think that Hammy is unwell because of the lack of sleep. If you have sleep deprivation, it will have a huge impact on short term memory and could cause fatigue which would make you feel tired quickly. These are all symptoms that Hammy has. I think Peter can help Hammy by not disturbing her when she is sleeping as sleeping will help prevent short term memory loss. He can also not lay things on Hammy’s bed as that will cause her to wake up if she turns and lies on them. He can advise her to reduce caffeine intake as that will lead to less fatigue. He can also encourage her to eat more often as that will help with her fatigue. Another possible reason for why Hammy is unwell could be because she is suffering from dementia. That would also explain why she is experiencing memory loss and forgetting where she is. He can help her write down to-do lists, appointments, directions to places, and events in a notebook or calendar.
