Sundowning

Sometimes, people with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, manifests symptoms like agitation, confusion or mood swings in the late afternoon or at early night (when the sun goes down). This phenomenon is termed sundowning!

In the early stage of Alzheimer’s, the symptoms may not be apparent. However, as the disease advances, sundowning becomes more obvious slowly but surely! Almost all Alzehimer’s patients will have sundowning to some extent! A person with a sundowning phenomenon may have a good day (less symptoms), or a bad day (more symptoms)!

Changes in the familiar surroundings (e.g. events where many people gather in the patient’s room, noise), changes in the daily routines, physical illness (pain, infection, constipation, lack of sleep) etc are the triggering factors for sundowning symptoms.
