An excerpt from the book:
Alzheimer's disease and dementia exhibit a variety of symptoms, and create challenges and issues for the spouse, other family members, and caregivers. One of those is known as Sundown Syndrome. It's also known as Sundowners, sundowning, and even by some as, "the witching hour." Sundowning is typically defined as increased confusion or anxiety as the day ends or as daylight ebbs. It coincides with the time the body grows more fatigued and tired. In fact, this phenomenon is common among not only those with dementia, but also elderly patients and residents in facilities that do not have a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia.
Sundown syndrome is also called "spontaneous agitation," and is traditionally caused by over-stimulation, fatigue, and confusion that increase insecurities, restlessness, and disorientation at nighttime. This is believed to be caused by a reduction of visual clues, noises that are familiar and comforting in the daytime, as well as decreased activity.
