What is 'sundowning' and why does it happen to many people with dementia?

At the outset, I should emphasise the term “sundowning” is overly simplistic, as it’s a shorthand term that can encompass a vast number of behaviours in many different contexts.

Key Points: 
  • At the outset, I should emphasise the term “sundowning” is overly simplistic, as it’s a shorthand term that can encompass a vast number of behaviours in many different contexts.
  • It may look different depending on the stage of dementia, the person’s personality and past behaviour patterns, and the presence of specific triggers.
  • Why then, do such altered behaviours tend to happen at specific times of the day?

Fading light

    • People living with dementia are just as dependent on sensory input to make sense of and correctly interpret their environment.
    • As light fades towards the end of the day, so too does the amount of sensory input available to help a dementia patient interpret the world.

Cognitive exhaustion

    • But what if you just don’t have much cognitive reserve?
    • During that time, in simple terms, the condition eats away at our cognitive reserve.
    • Cognitive reserve has been lost, and the symptoms of memory loss finally become apparent.

What should I do if it happens to my loved one?

    • A short nap after lunch may help alleviate cognitive fatigue towards the end of the day.
    • It gives the brain, and along with it a person’s resilience, an opportunity to “recharge”.
    • However, there is no substitute for a fuller assessment of the other causes that might contribute to altered behaviour.
