Hi, @bruizersmom - how awful that you were sleep-deprived, nauseous, vomiting, hallucinating and dealt with constantly being semi-awake. Glad that you've now found a regimen that helps you get the sleep you need at night but allows you to function during the day.
About sundowning, AI is a good place to start, though I also try and double check some of the information I get in AI responses. Something else that may be useful is this information on sundowning from Mayo Clinic:
- Sundowning: Late day confusion https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/alzheimers-disease/expert-answers/sundowning/faq-20058511
Here's some other information that seems helpful on sundowning and Parkinson's, dementia, Alzheimer’s, Lewy Body Variant (which @vi30295 mentioned specifically in relation to their father) and similar is:
- What is sundowning, what causes it and how does it impact the caregiver? https://www.parkinsonsresource.org/news/articles/what-is-sundowning-what-causes-it-and-how-does-it-impact-the-caregiver/
How has the nighttime sleep and daytime alertness gone for you over this past weekend, bruizersmom?
