A 66-year-old man is seen in clinic with his wife. He was diagnosed with DLB 2 years ago, and his wife reports increasingly agitated sleep. She describes him kicking out and occasionally rising from the bed and shouting. And once jumping out of bed and running around the room. The GP has investigated this and ruled out a delirium. His GP had also prescribed melatonin with no benefit. What is the most appropriate way to manage this patient?
