Late afternoon arrives and a familiar shift begins. The person you care for grows restless, confused, or agitated. Sundowning is not a disease but a pattern—a response to fatigue, changing light, and the brain's struggle to process the day's end. This book is your calm, practical companion through those difficult hours. It explains why sundowning happens and offers real-life strategies you can use tonight: adjusting light and sound, creating a soothing routine, communicating with patience, and knowing when to seek medical advice. There is no quick fix, but there are proven ways to reduce distress for both of you. You will learn to recognise early signs, avoid common triggers, and build an evening rhythm that brings safety and peace. The focus is on preserving dignity and connection, not controlling behaviour. And because caring for someone else can drain your own reserves, each chapter includes guidance for your own wellbeing. Part of The Caring for a Parent Library.
