Sundown syndrome affects some people who have
Alzheimer's disease and dementia. They get confused and agitated as the sun
goes down, and sometimes through the night. Sun downing happens
to nearly 20% of people who have Alzheimer's disease or other kinds of
dementia. The causes are not well understood and there seems to be no cure,
however there are some ways to manage it. Being more active during the day may
help Alzheimer's patients sleep better at night. Also, Light therapy, Good
sleeping environment, and Calm reassurance will help.
