Sundowning can be a challenging aspect of Alzheimer's, but with the right strategies, it can be managed. Regular routines, early daytime exposure to sunlight and limiting naps can help regulate the patient's internal body clock. Keep evenings calm and quiet to reduce confusion and agitation. Sensory-stimulating activities during the day can also be beneficial. Lastly, don't forget to take care of yourself, too; managing sundowning can be taxing, so ensure you're getting adequate rest and support.
