Sundowning & Dementia

Sundown Syndrome or "Sundowning" is a pattern of increased cognitive and behavioral symptoms exhibited by dementia patients during the late afternoon and evening hours. Often triggered by changes in light or disruption in the body's internal clock, late-day confusion may cause hallucinations, delusions, anxiety and aggressive behaviors that worsen into the night.
