@lisamichelle196758: Sundowning is a pattern of increased confusion, agitation, anxiety, or restlessness that often occurs in people with dementia during the late afternoon, evening, or nighttime. Symptoms may include pacing, irritability, yelling, hallucinations, resistance to care, or difficulty sleeping. The exact cause isn’t fully understood, but sundowning is believed to be linked to changes in the brain, fatigue, low lighting, disrupted sleep–wake cycles, and sensory overload as the day ends. Changes in routine or unfamiliar environments can make symptoms worse. Sundowning is not a separate disease—it’s a symptom commonly seen in Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. Supportive care, consistent routines, calm environments, adequate lighting, and reassurance can help reduce its effects. #fyp #fypシ #dementia #caregiverlife #sundowner
