The decline of mobility and health as we age is inevitable, but the effects can be minimized if we prioritize our physical and mental well-being.<\/p>\n<p>The risk of contracting memory loss diseases such as Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia is also increased as we age. Still, in some cases, the symptoms are only aggravated when the sun begins to set and nighttime approaches.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em><strong>Sundowning is a symptom of Alzheimer\u2019s disease &amp; dementia and results in aggressiveness, confusion, or irascibility.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>Potential Causes of Sundowning<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Scientifically, the reasons behind sundowning are not clear. However, research has determined that it is common in those with early-onset dementia. One hypothesis concludes that the effects of dementia and Alzheimer\u2019s can skew an individual\u2019s circadian rhythm, which may result in convoluted sleep cycles. Other potential reasons that someone experiences sundowning symptoms may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Excessive fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Excessive thirst and hunger<\/li>\n<li>Chronic depression<\/li>\n<li>Extreme pain<\/li>\n<li>Constant boredom and lethargy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How to Detect Sundowning<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you believe a loved one may be experiencing sundowning symptoms, be mindful in the evening when the sun is beginning to set &#8211; certain signs such as increased anxiety or bewilderment could be indicative of sundowning. Around this time of day, a loved one with sundowning symptoms may abruptly become angry or flustered &#8211; remain patient, and understanding and reassure them that everything will be okay.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Coping with Sundowning:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Limit the amount of noise, light, and activity in the room. If there are a lot of people in the room, kindly ask them to leave; a heavily populated room can perpetuate symptoms of sundowning.<\/li>\n<li>Attempt to occupy your loved ones with their favourite foods or treats, and you may also want to try to occupy their mind by breaking out their favourite board game or movie.<\/li>\n<li>Implement a quiet rule in the evening time- instead of turning on the TV and playing loud music, utilize dim lights, help them pick out a book to read, or go for a walk with them.<\/li>\n<li>Shut the curtains before the sun sets to prevent shadows from confusing your loved one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>How to Prevent Sundowning<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You can assist your loved one by enacting preventative measures to ensure their symptoms are lessened.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Help your loved one go outside, especially in the daylight- daily exposure to sunlight can help fix their circadian rhythm.<\/li>\n<li>Ensure your loved one gets a decent dose of physical exercise (i.e. walking, jogging, swimming, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>If your loved one must nap throughout the day, ensure the naps are short (1-1.5 hours maximum)<\/li>\n<li>Ensure they\u2019re not drinking any alcohol or caffeinated beverages 4-5 hours before bed<\/li>\n<li>Keep activities light throughout the daytime &#8211; a day that is full of events may tire your loved one and add to the confusion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6224 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/northandwestvancouver\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2024\/08\/CK-Blog-second-photo-46.png\" alt=\"A caregiver attends to a senior male sitting outdoors with a blanket over his lap | Important Information on Sundowning for Seniors Living in British Columbia | Comfort Keepers North and West Vancouver\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/northandwestvancouver\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2024\/08\/CK-Blog-second-photo-46.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/northandwestvancouver\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2024\/08\/CK-Blog-second-photo-46-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/northandwestvancouver\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2024\/08\/CK-Blog-second-photo-46-1024x768.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.comfortkeepers.ca\/northandwestvancouver\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2024\/08\/CK-Blog-second-photo-46-768x576.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1200px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1200\/900;\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><b>The Best Senior Home Care in North and West Vancouver is Comfort Keepers\u00ae<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our senior home care agency offers in-home care focusing on aging in place.
