Depression, which has it's roots in many different things, environmental and biological. There is relatively little that you, specifically, can do to help her. Fact is, counseling can't help if she isn't committed to recovery and drugs have limited effects. Have her do the above (at least convince her to go to family dr. to try meds) and try lifestyle change...redecorate, buy some new clothes, go somewhere fun/different...sometimes people just need a little shakeup. Best thing (by far) is exercise. This probably has more effective (widespread) results than anything. Ask her to go for a walk with you everyday...walk somewhere pretty in town, if you can, walk for at least 20 minutes to release those natural hormones (endorphins). This may shoot three birds with one stone (exercise+change in activity+lower bloodpressure+make her tired so she can sleep). My g.f. didn't have a job last summer and suffered similar symptoms (stay up late, depression, boredom). I bought her a bike and we rode everyday, it helped her a lot. Good luck.

sounds like she has problems, with her nerves, may i suggest you talk with her ,and just ask here to see her doctor, she may have a little depression going on as well,
father cooking mmmmmm that not the problem , the problem is its her kitchen ,so stay out , lol
i would like know how old your mom is? this could be a factor.
but please be aware soem people dont want to sleep at night because they feel unsafe at night ,also they have to sleep during the day because they have to ,due to lack of sleep, sort of catch 22 going on , maybe ask you father if you two can apporch your mom together see whats on her mind.
