During an episode of sundown syndrome, a person may become restless and irritable and experience psychological symptoms such as anxiety, confusion, and cognitive disturbances. Physical symptoms such as pacing or changes to motor skills may also occur. A person experiencing an episode may not know where they are, or they may become agitated and yell at caregivers.
This change in behaviour is called sundowning or late day confusion. It is not considered a separate type of dementia, but rather a set of mood and behavioural symptoms associated with dementia that begin in late afternoon or evening. Sundowning or late day confusion in dementia patients is relatively common, so it’s important to understand the causes and ways to reduce or prevent sundowning symptoms as a caregiver. In fact, according to the Alzheimer Society of Canada, up to 66% of people living with dementia can experience this.
