Afraid for his job security

Should I be worried? My 54 yr old husband seems to have an inordinate amount of trouble setting his clock correctly. This morning I woke up, looked at the clock, it was 45 minutes later than he usually leaves and he hadn't left yet. I went to check on him, he was sitting on the side of the bed looking puzzled at his alarm, preparing to call in late to work and trying to figure out how he hit the snooze button and overslept. It happens a couple of times a month. He just can't for the life of him figure out how he set it for p.m. rather than a.m., or how he hit the snooze one too many times and overslept.

It just scares me so much whenever this happens. There is a strange undercurrent to him that I have never really understood. It doesn't seem to present a problem at work and he says other employees are occasionally late and they just laugh it off when he is, but it scares me that he seems so baffled and seems to do it repeatedly.

I don't think it's dementia because it isn't new. He has a strangeness that I have never understood.

I feel this underlying fear that someday he is going to lose his ability to function normally and I will have no idea what to do or how to help him.

Does anyone else have occasional problems setting their alarm and getting to work late? Is it normal? Should I stop worrying?

Put the internet to work for you.
