When does sundowning typically occur?

  1. A. Morning

  2. B. Afternoon

  3. C. Evening

  4. D. Night

The correct answer is: C. Evening

Sundowning typically occurs in the evening. This phenomenon is often observed in individuals with dementia or similar cognitive impairments, where they may exhibit increased confusion, agitation, or restlessness as daylight fades and night approaches. The transition from day to night can be disorienting for them, leading to behavioral changes that caregivers need to manage. Being aware that these changes are likely to happen in the evening can help caregivers prepare and implement strategies to provide comfort and reassurance during this time.
