Sundowners Syndrome is a condition most often associated with early-stage Alzheimer's, but has been known to affect the elderly recovering from surgery in hospitals or in unfamiliar environments. Occasionally, the syndrome will affect people in the early morning hours.
Sundowning is a symptom that can show up in people who have Alzheimer's disease or other dementias. When someone becomes confused, anxious, aggressive, agitated, or restless consistently later in the day (usually late afternoon or early evening), this is called sundowning. It is thought that sundowning can be a problem for as many as 66% of people with Alzheimerâs disease or other dementias. It can occur at any stage of the disease but it tends to peak in the middle stages of dementia and lessens as the disease progresses.
