STOP paying for everything
You need to save for your own retirement and old age care should you need it. You cannot do this by yourself or you may not be around to enjoy your retirement. Time to move out. Get the folks placed in a retirement community.

You really don't know what the expenses are or how much OP might be putting aside for her own future. IF she can afford to pay AND put aside funds for herself, this isn't the issue. The lack of sleep is.

I would recommend that mom and dad's income be used to pay for someone to watch over them at night, so she can sleep. If their income is low enough, depending on state rules, they might even qualify for some Medicaid care - it is usually limited hours, but if all she really needs is overnight on weeknights, Medicaid and/or using mom and dad's income to pay for help should work.

I think that if your siblings had wanted to help at all, they would have stepped up long before now, so no, I am not surprised by their reactions. They have it made in the shade, with you stepping up to do everything.
Unfortunately you're probably going to have to hire some overnight help(normally I would say with your parents money, but since it sounds like you're paying for everything, with your money)so you can get the much needed sleep your body needs to be able to function properly.
Most people discover exactly what kind of family they actually have when help is needed in one way or another. Wishing you rest.

true.

anyone asking me 10 years ago, “if an emergency would happen, would the whole family help?”

me: yes, for sure!!
