I think its mostly seen in elderly and dementia people @Faith-and-Hope its like they are almost normal in the day time but by late evening they change. Ive been reading abit on it but havent really heard of it from others

No, I have no experience with that @outlander, sorry. It sounds challenging though.

I think sundowning is associated with Alzheimer's @outlander. Poor sleep hygiene however is prevalent with MI.

Hello my sister @outlander
Yes my mum is showing signs of sundowning and dementia
She seems to be ok in the mornings but starts getting confused and that from lunchtime and worse at night

Re: Carers under 30...
It is challenging @Faith-and-Hope , @outlander and can show many emotions through it
It can be upsetting with what they will say and do

Hi @outlander,
None the wiser here. Had to google it like others....
Hope you're doing OK? Long time no chat. (Partially because I've been semi inactive online.)
