I may have posted this before. When my husband with Parkinson's started sundowning around 78yo, I started giving him 10 mg of melatonin at 4 pm and another 10 mg at 9 pm. He only sun downed one more time after that because my son forgot to give him his first dose until 6 pm.

Interesting because Melatonin never helped us. I must take a capsule of liquid Valerian herb I get from Gaia (at Whole Foods or online) to aid me sleeping from anxiety. I gave it to my husband about an hour before bedtime and he sleeps like a baby. I think it would help with sundowners but not sure.
