Dad with Alzheimer's

My father is 90 with Alzheimer's disease. I know a lot of you are dealing with this.  The problem I’m having right now is that every night around one a.m., my father thinks he is on a boat and wants to pack all his clothes and evacuate.  He doesn't want to sleep and doesn't believe me when I tell him he is at home.  Can anyone give me a tip or two on how to deal with this, please?
