What is Sundowner’s Syndrome and How Can It Be Managed?

Living with Alzheimer’s can be a challenge for the entire family. Whether your family has professional Alzheimer’s care assistance or you are caring for your loved one alone, it can seem as if each day is full of new challenges and developments. One of the things that makes Alzheimer’s care so challenging is that those living with the disease can have different needs at different times of the day. Late afternoon and early evening can be especially hard for those who experience Sundowner’s Syndrome. It is a change in behavior, temperament, or personality that occurs in the late afternoon or early evening. This occurrence is also known as “sundown syndrome”, “sundowners” or “sundowning.” Doctors do not know what causes the sundowning behavior. However, the part of the brain that tells you if you are awake or asleep breaks down in Alzheimer’s patients. Some scientists think these neurological changes affect the inner body clock. When it comes to Alzheimer’s care, everyone is different. If you need us, we are here to help.
