Understanding Sundown Syndrome

6. Easing Sundown Syndrome

Background noise such as televisions, talking, or dinner noise in group living environments may worsen sundown syndrome symptoms. Providing the individual with a soothing and quiet environment could help. Soft music or white noise can help reduce agitation, as can providing the person with familiar objects or photographs. Once lights are out for the night, a dim lamp or night light may be more comforting than total darkness.
