Sundowning refers to increased confusion, anxiety, agitation, or restlessness that often occurs in the late afternoon or evening in individuals with dementia. A key non-pharmacological intervention is to maintain a consistent, structured daily routine. This includes regular times for meals, activities, and bedtime. Consistency reduces uncertainty and environmental triggers, provides a sense of security, and can help regulate the patient's internal circadian rhythms, which are often disrupted in dementia.
