The exact cause of sundowners syndrome remains a mystery. While the episodes are most commonly found in dementia patients, the symptoms can also appear in those suffering from other conditions, such as degenerating eye conditions.
Sundowning, or sundown syndrome is a neurological phenomenon associated with increased confusion and restlessness in patients with delirium or some form of dementia. Most commonly associated with Alzheimer's disease, but also found in those with other forms of dementia, the term sundowning was coined due to the timing of the patient's confusion. For patients with sundowning syndrome, a multitude of behavioral problems begin to occur in the evening or while the sun is setting.
