Sundowner's, or sundowning, is confusion that generally occurs late in the day, although it has been known to occur during early-morning hours as well. The cause appears elusive.
The disorder is commonly seen in hospital or nursing-home settings where an older individual may be forced to adjust to a different setting.

It is seen primarily in Alzheimer's patients, in those with Parkinson's and with other forms of dementia. Up to 25 percent of all diagnosed Alzheimer's patients have been found to exhibit sundowner's as well.
