[@KathyCarCamps]

I am understanding so much more about these things I’ve been seeing mom do , for years now. If I had understood this before, for a couple years now I could have been giving her a better life. Not just sundowning of course but all of these videos, you have helped so much. Thank you.

[@DementiaWithGrace]

Come join the group in Facebook! It helps even more!! Link in description!!!! All my love!

[@amberwinders6892]

Thank you , I'm a hospice nurse but sometimes we get some patients in the early stages and these tips are really helpful.

[@DementiaWithGrace]

I’m so glad!!!

My father is struggling bad with sundowner stage of the day. My mother is in denial. I try hard to make it easier but same time every night approx at 1 he is up rummaging through the house. I appreciate being able to watch your helpful videos. I wish I knew how fast it progresses.

[@carolryan2419]

My husband is also doing this about the same time every night at 1:00 a.m. and of course I wake up as he just goes around the house rummaging through like your Dad does, then he will usually go back to bed at about 5 or 6 a.m. and sleep a couple hours. I didn't know what this was called until I saw this video tonight.

[@mariatrotter6889]

Well said 😘thank you

My husband insists on going to bed at 7 and getting up at 1 a.m. I cannot convince him of the difference btwn day and night.

I thought the paniel gland is responsible for your third eye and Astral projecting.. lol kidding But seriously, I take melatonin daily, is that bad for the gland and or cause sundowing later in life?

[@DementiaWithGrace]

It’s for that, too! Lol! Melatonin is naturally occurring and doesn’t seem to be a cause of Sundowning later in life!
