I know what Sundowning is but is now experiencing it with my husband. Can time the clock to it around four or five and on through the evening. He becomes a different person. Any suggestions how to handle this strange thing.

Brighter lighting indoors. There are lights that are "daylight" and LED's are brighter than others and they do not seem to cast the same shadows like some lighting does.
Close curtains, blinds before sunset. (about an hour or so before your husband begins sundowning)
Medication to help with the anxiety might help. It might take a while for him to adjust, give it time. As with adding any new medication keep a log or diary of any reactions he may have.
Keep him as occupied as you can during the day.
If he is tired from activity he might settle down a bit more easily.

Welcome, Won!

Have you spoken to his doctor about medication to be given before it starts?

Often, the expertise of a psychiatrist can be invaluable.
